I accidentally forgot my BIOS password, and I've tried using a BIOS reprogrammer, but it doesn't work with my Lenovo L590. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can recover or reset my password?

LOL, it sounds a bit tricky, but I've seen some folks just pull the CMOS battery out as a workaround. I did that to get into my dad's old PC when I was younger! You could try if you're feeling adventurous.
Honestly, if you're not comfortable doing this kind of stuff, it might be better to pay a professional. They can sort it out without you risking damaging your laptop.
If the reset method doesn't work, your best bet is to flash the BIOS or even replace the motherboard. I read that for Lenovo laptops, if you forgot the supervisor password, unfortunately, you might need to replace the system board since there’s no official reset procedure.
You might want to try resetting the CMOS. It's a common method and worked for me in the past. Just make sure to check your laptop's manual for specific instructions on accessing the CMOS battery first.
