Welcome to PCmech
Some motherboards have a jumper setting just to clear the password and not reset the other BIOS settings, check to see if you have a jumper marked as "CLEAR_PW" or similar on the motherboard, if so this will reset it but leave the BIOS settings intact otherse look for a jumper marked similar to "CLEAR_CMOS" normally near the BIOS battery. Just set that jumper for a minute then change it back. You should be able to get into the BIOS setup now but will have to re-do all your BIOS settings
