I'm having trouble getting my PC to boot from a USB drive since it's BIOS locked. I've tried the Windows Automatic Repair, but it couldn't fix the issue either. The USB drive is recognized, but it just won't boot, leaving me stuck in a loop. Does anyone have suggestions on how I might resolve this or work around the BIOS lock?

You might have a chance with some systems like Dell or HP, where you can get a code that helps unlock the BIOS. Just be aware that corporate systems can be trickier. If you’re tackling a corporate machine, you might need to remove the BIOS chip and decode it. For some resources, check out sites dedicated to this—like bios-pw.org for unlocking codes.
One option you could try is using another computer with a similar setup. You can install Windows on that machine, then just swap the drive over to yours and hopefully, it will boot up normally on your PC.
That's really useful info! I'll look into that site.
