asus laptop bios password reset
If you are stuck with an older ASUS laptop and can't access BIOS settings due to an administrator password try the following procedure:
- Boot and enter BIOS.
- Once prompted for a BIOS password press ALT+R
- You will be asked for a "rescue password" which is unique for every date
- Visit http://biosbug.com/asus.php , insert the date that the laptop prompted and generate unlock code.
- Insert unlock code and you should be logged in as BIOS administrator
It is possible that generator does not work for newer dates. Then try another approach:
- Boot and enter BIOS.
- Once prompted for a BIOS password press Enter
- You should end up being logged in as a standard user unable to change critical settings. However you should be able to change the date and time!
- Go to date settings and change date to one before end of 2011.
- Use the code for the day from this file Asus_Recovery_Bios_Passwords_2002-2011
- If all goes well you will be logged in as the BIOS administrator
Unfortunately these procedures are not guaranteed to work with all ASUS laptops. Especially, I expect newer UEFI based systems to require a different procedure.
