I had a BIOS password locked laptop from a dissolved company, and nobody else wanted it for that reason, but the manual said to connect 2 pins to reset the BIOS and it worked.
So probably this is a lot easier on most x86 computers, it's just that 99% of the time you just didn't check.
I remember a while back when I was actively moderating subreddits, one spammer kept posting imgur gifvs that were a closeup of a vagina. It wasn't a porn sub or anything. I mean like really close up, this gifv probably has more value to the medical community than the goon community. It was just really gross. And the same gifv every fucking day.
