Prepared For: User Requesting Technical Procedure

Method 1: CMOS Battery Reset (Requires opening the laptop)

Warning: Opening the device may void warranty or damage components. unowhy y13 bios password install

  1. Remove bottom cover (Phillips #00 screws).
  2. Locate the coin-cell CMOS battery (CR2032).
  3. Disconnect the small connector (or remove the battery from its holder).
  4. Wait 10–15 minutes (or press power button for 30 secs to drain caps).
  5. Reconnect CMOS battery, reassemble, boot – BIOS password should be cleared.

3.2 "Password Installed" But It Never Asks at Boot

  • Cause: The Y13 has a "Password on Boot" toggle that is disabled by default.
  • Fix: Re-enter BIOS > Security > "Password on Boot" . Change from "Disabled" to "Enabled." Without this, the password only protects BIOS access, not OS loading.

✅ Method 2 – Clear CMOS (hardware reset)

Tools needed:

  • Small Phillips screwdriver
  • Non-conductive pry tool (plastic spudger)
  • Tweezers (optional)

Steps:

  1. Power off the Unowhy Y13 and unplug the charger.
  2. Remove the bottom cover (usually 6–8 small screws).
  3. Disconnect the internal battery (large flat cable on the motherboard). Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Locate the CMOS battery – a small coin cell (CR2032) wrapped in black/red wires with a 2-pin connector. Disconnect it for 2–3 minutes.
  5. While the CMOS battery is disconnected, hold the power button for 20 seconds to drain residual charge.
  6. Reconnect CMOS battery, then main battery, reassemble, and power on.

The BIOS password should be cleared. If not, the password may be stored in EEPROM (non-volatile memory) – requires Method 3.


3. Installing via UEFI Shell (For Refurbishers / Mass Deployment)

If you have physical access and need to script password installation across many Y13 units: Remove bottom cover (Phillips #00 screws)

# Boot to UEFI Shell (e.g., from USB FAT32 with Shell.efi)
# Unlock setup (if no password set yet):
