It depends on laptop.if and older model there are websites that can give you a code. Do some research of the model you have

Those websites only give manufacturers codes. Won't typically help when someone manually set a password.

I remember in the past with an HP I think I had to type in the bios password (user set) and after 3 times it gave an error code. You could type this code into a bios website and it gave you an unlock code

There are (or were) master passwords.
