"I have flashed the bios to a new version" - how you did that, using a windows tool provided by a laptop manufacturer? If yes, then it preserves the originally set password and maybe the other settings. Try to extract a "clean" BIOS image from the BIOS update utility provided by a laptop manufacturer. Then, using a flashrom-supported programmer like USB CH341A with a test clip (SOIC8 ?) together with our flashrom opensource tool, you might be able to flash a clean BIOS image (without any passwords/settings) into your BIOS chip. Of course please make a backup before flashing a new image, in the case it's incorrect or you'd need to borrow some Intel ME-related regions or to have a MAC address specified in your ROM in order for onboard Ethernet working.
