What to do if you forget your power-on password

Follow the instructions to remove the power-on password if you forget your power-on password.

If you have set a supervisor password or a system management password and remember it:

  1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, immediately press F1.
  2. Type the supervisor password or the system management password to enter the UEFI BIOS menu.
  3. Select Security > Password > Power-On Password by using the arrow keys.
  4. Type the current supervisor password or the system management password in the Enter Current Password field. Then, leave the Enter New Password field blank, and press Enter twice.
  5. In the Changes have been saved window, press Enter.
  6. Press F10 to save changes and exit the UEFI BIOS menu.

If you have not set a supervisor password or a system management password, contact a Lenovo-authorized service provider to have the power-on password removed.
