“Yoga ThinkPad” I bought new 2018, rarely used, the last few months it wouldn’t even turn on or charge, today it finally turned on, it let out and unholy weird BEEP and now I see this screen. I hit F9 and press enter and it does nothing. please advise.

    Good news, it’s been a few hours and I made it through all that and the password was no problem, I just had to establish a password cuz apparently there wasn’t a password before, not sure why they were asking for that, maybe they weren’t even asking for that, I just went through a few settings and then found my way back to the boot screen and finally got in and

    DID MY TAXES!

    Hooray. I won’t have to use a library computer, my laptop works again. For now.

    Yeah the only reason I needed my laptop was to do my taxes because some things, like taxes, can’t be done on smartphones.

      Yeah, you don’t HAVE to set a BIOS password, but it helps keep people from fiddling around where they shouldn’t be!

      Congrats on getting it going!
