Heya folks. New member here. I have an ASUS laptop x555l. I'm trying to change the boot order so I can get rid of hated 8.1 and install Win7. I can access the bios no problem but anything that is black font I can't access. In the boot section everything is in black so I can't change anything at all. Any help would be appreciated. Tks

I have no problem getting to the bios. Most options are in black and I can't access them, only the ones with blue font. Under the boot heading everything is black so I can't do a thing in there.

Btw I did find a solution to my prob. I'll post it here in case other asus users have the same problem. I finally got administrative access to the bios.

Here's how to easily reset your BIOS or UEFI password on Asus laptops (actually it will remove your BIOS UEFI password, wipe it out) :
This only works if you can boot into windows (or other OS) ! It will reset you BIOS or UEFI password if you have forgotten it.

- Boot into windows and change the date to 2002/01/02,

- Reboot while while hitting F2 to get into the BIOS / UEFI, when the enter password window appears hit "Alt + r", a "Enter rescue password" window will appear, with 2002/01/02 date showing (if not the code won't work), enter the following rescue password : ALAA4ABA

- Done ! You're in the BIOS / UEFI

- Change back the date and other settings to their correct values in the BIOS / UEFI, save settings, and you're good.

On the internet, you can even find whole lists of date/password couples to enter in the "Enter recovery password" window, i used the one above which worked perfectly.. "

Cheers
