As you can't recall the password you need to be able to enter BIOS or GRUB. You may need to experiment a bit. If you've previously installed various OS on the machine then I guess you must have got into BIOS/UEFI setup at least once before.
Entering BIOS/UEFI setup is designed not to be easy and timing is important.
Best thing is to search the internet for your model number for tips on what to press and when.
Accessing GRUB to initiate the password recovery may be easier as timing is less critical. The key to press and hold while booting should be either 'Esc' (if your system is UEFI) or 'Shift' (if your system is BIOS).
