Is it worth fixing my laptop's BIOS?

[tkozlowski]

I recently set a password on my laptop's BIOS and I forgot what it was. Unfortunately I did not have it written somewhere and I can no longer access my BIOS. I wanted to install Ubuntu/Linux and be able to use other operating systems. I can't change the boot device without the BIOS.

I read that when typing the password wrong 3 times the BIOS should show a code that can be used to recover the password but when I did it it freezes at "Incorrect Password".

I have an Asus N550JV-DB72T laptop. It cost me $1050 and I would like this problem fixed but I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it.

How much would it cost to get my laptop fixed? I bought it recently (February) and I registered it to get the product warranty.

Does anyone have suggestions? Opinions? Thoughts?

Call Asus support. Otherwise you're not getting help about bypassing passwords here, regardless if it's your own device.

I have contacted Asus support and they said there is no master password. They said that I will have to send it in for RMA service. I have to contact them again and ask about the cost to get my BIOS fixed.
