My brother had his laptop stollen, a few months later he got it back from the police after it was recovered. But ever since he hasn't been able to use it because it has a bio's security lock on it. It immediately requires a bios password on start up. Can not access anything else. Pressing "Alt +R" not "Alt + home + R" does nothing. Nor do holding "ESC" or "F2" on start up do anything.
It only present's this screen on booting up. Nothing else.

The laptop doesn't have a CMOS battery as part of the motherboard or otherwise.
Can someone please assist. I'm starting to run out of options here. I really don't want to have no choice but replace the motherboard

Hello, thanks for the help but unfortunately the motherboard looks completely different to the above mentioned video and article.
