Refurbed Optiplex 5080 SFF bios password

Trying to boot off a usb drive but bios has been locked and we don't know the password.  Any way to reset that password.  We have full access to Windows 11 on the machine

You will need to obtain that from your seller.

If they cannot provide it, it's either return it for a refund or replace the system board.

It seems there is a jumper and 3 sets of jumper pins on motherboard below blue x16 slot.  The pin instructions are on board.  1 set of pins are for bios password clearance
