Dear friends,
I have an ASUS G51jx on which I set a bios password. A few weeks ago tried to access the BIOS but I forgot the password.
The fact is that I searched online in hundreds of forums and no one had a solution for this.
Troubleshooting steps already performed:
- removed the battery and restarted, tried to keep it out for more than 4 hours
- cleared CMOS memory
- tried to update the BIOS with Flash bios and I'm prompted for the password in order to do so
- apparently this password is not stored in CMOS as for normal laptops
- it more like a master password than BIOS one
- after I inser the password for three times wrong I get a code like a registry code at the bottom and then I have to reboot
I need to know if there is software or something that can erase that password.
I asked ASUS support for this but they will charge me with more than 40 euros for this and I don't have this sum now.
Can anyone please help me, it's very frustrating as I'm unable to access the boot menu and reinstall windows. I can't do anything on BIOS.
Many thanks for trying,
Cristian L
