Forgotten my bios password, please help

So recently, i needed to turn on secore boot, because I upgraded to Windows 11, however i forgot the password I created when I got the laptop, obviously i cannot access it right now. I have tried alot of methods, but it doesnt have a Master password, you cant reset the password, and i dont think there is a 2032 cmos battery, I found it is stored in the EEPROM storage. Please if someone knows how i can reset the bios. Help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Asus uses rescue passwords based on the BIOS date on a lot of their models. You typically hold Alt+R and enter the rescue password (sometimes Gr+R). Once you do that, you'll need the date the system shows. If for some reason that doesn't work anymore, the only other option is to see if you can put the laptop into a manufacturing mode and reflash it such it takes out the EEPROM where the BIOS is stored without affecting other data, otherwise it's a motherboard swap without a tool leak or someone reverse engineering where ASUS stores it, and getting it done without violating Boot Guard on Intel models or PSB on AMD models if it's used and present on mobile AMD CPUs.

Asus is like Dell in the sense they stopped caring years ago BIOS passwords are a joke to crack in the right hands*, so these are kind of easy.

Go to this site, enter the date you see, and it will come up (it is case sensitive like Dell): https://www.biosbug.com/asus/

*Dell 11/12th gen-present BIOSes on commercial PCs are too complicated (8FC8) , but you can use certain tools to dump, flash and "unlock" these - but it's not viable to directly get in like with 11th gen and older. These are off the plate for now unless you can reflash the EEPROM and are willing to put the machine back into a state where you have to reinstall the ST. I would need to see on the new Dell "Pro" lines but it's probably a whole new string and they just aren't cheap free game on the surplus market to see yet.
