I attempted to access the BIOS on my B450 Tomahawk but it was protected by a password I can't recall setting. I tried resetting the CMOS by removing the battery and even shorting the pins, but the password remained. The manual mentioned clearing the CMOS without specifying a password, yet nothing about unlocking it was found. Could be the password is still locked or requires a different method. Let me know if you need further guidance.
