What should I do about my BIOS password lock - ANV16-41

Hello Acer Community.

I have been wanting to enable secure boot through my BIOS settings so I can play some new games, ones that all require secure boot to run, but my BIOS is locked with a password I set ages ago that I cannot remember.

I have tried every possible combination that I would've set and none of them seem to work. I have also contact Acer Support about it, saying I've got the code.txt and stuff for the unlock password, but they say I need to contact my retailer since they can do it.

I contacted my retailer about this issue and they said I need to contact Acer Support because they are the ones with the decryption tools for the code.txt files, so I'm at a standstill since neither place will help.

I have an Acer Nitro V16 ANV16-41 Laptop that I bought a couple of years ago.

All help is appreciated!

Greetings @GlitchedFolx You are in trouble, if you forget the BIOS or Setup password it is a very bad thing, try changing the CMOS battery or more, this is serious and I advise you this.
