You are infected with a seriously dangerous virus which belongs to an infamous Gandcrab family. However, we haven't been aware that the virus is capable of infecting BIOS.
In your case, you need to reset a BIOS to remove a password lock. Look at your motherboard's documentation how to reset BIOS. Firstly disconnect your computer from the power source. You need to locate the 3 pin CMOS jumper (usually it is near a battery). Then take the jumper off and put it on other two pins. Then press the power button for about 10-15 seconds to clear CMOS and then restore a jumper to the initial position, connect to the power source and turn on your computer. If your BIOS is somehow damaged check the model of your motherboard and flash a new firmware from official site. After you boot your PC, check your Windows OS for infections. You might need to either scan it with anti-virus to remove malware or reset it to the factory settings as well.
