Hi! There is no BIOS reset tool, unfortunately. However, you can try to power drain the entire motherboard, as it might clear the BIOS Password. To do so, please remove the main power battery as well as the motherboard battery, which is usually a discus shape (i.e. watch battery). After removing these, press the power button for 10-20 seconds to drain any remaining electricity in the system, then leave you laptop alone for 10-20 minutes. Afterwards reconnect all batteries then boot it, hopefully the power drain would've resetted your BIOS.
Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
