Hello, I have a problem with my PC, I would like to reset it because I don't have the password, but my user interface is very strange. If I type anything on my keyboard other than characters, the PC makes a high-pitched noise (impossible to lower the volume).
The PC is supposed to be running Windows 10; it's one of those provided by the Grand Est region to high school students.

Hello,
The "Île de France" PCs and equivalents are restricted and locked by a BIOS password; when the student leaves the institution, the PC is given to them as a gift and it is their responsibility to have the PC unlocked by the school's IT referent.
This has nothing to do with a possible Windows password and the question of whether the BIOS security is enabled (which is likely) or not in order to be able to boot from an installation medium. -
Hello,
Even though this PC was lent to you by a school administration, you cannot perform the operations reserved for the Windows administrator, as you only have a user account until the BIOS is unlocked by your institution's reference person.

Everything has been said by brucine and george97, I am closing this post.
In summary, discuss this with your school.
