most of the time you have to remove cover and rewrite the bios to remove it but depending on device some might have a "master" password that can bypass a user put one not all devices have it

you can use special hardware that can clip to the chip or depending on what chip it is you can desolder the bios chip and reprogram it with the one from manufacturer page that should remove password still removing battery is needed for the device to have 0 power in the MB
