Tried this does not work on newer (2017+) Asus laptops. The computer will not allow you to press alt + r to get a rescue password opportunity. I've been chatting pastebin link and the only choice is to send it to ASUS or replace the motherboard. There is no CMOS battery to remove, the static charge on the board keeps the BIOS current and unplugging it won't take lifetimes before it'll erase those and I cannot change the boot option and use an SD card or anything to flash it and this laptop as with most newer ones does not have any jumper opportunity to reset a password. Looks like there's no way around it except to send it in as I have tried countless times and countless forums from multiple countries their search engines. Apparently ASUS is tight-lipped on revealing the override password reset and understandably so. I am sad …

Thanks for the help however I have tried this does and apparently it does not work on newer (2017+) Asus laptops. The computer will not allow you to press alt + r to get a rescue password entry opportunity. I have become very familiar with the “ pastebin link” solution and for me it appears the only choice is to send it to ASUS or replace the motherboard. There is no “CMOS “battery to remove as I understand it their is a residual charge left on the motherboard that keeps the BIOS current and unplugging it will not help. I cannot change the boot option and use an USB, port, SD card or anything to flash, recover or reset and this laptop as with most newer ones does not have any jumper opportunity to reset a password. Looks like there's no way around it except to send it in. Oh a funny side note, tech support at Best buy geek squad member told me I might as well just throw the computer away! I should have got his boss and in educated but I chose Mercy as I need Mercy. Coming from a background of technical support/sustaining engineering for electro-mechanical machinery I am at least confident that was not the right answer! Apparently ASUS is tight-lipped on revealing the override password reset and understandably so. I am sad … I am going to the Asus YouTube channel and contact “JJ” all people should know and just ask him for some advice. Suggestions?
