So i ran into a problem few days ago and it seemed to be very
annoying one. I got hands on ASUS X55A with broken HDD. So i changed HDD and
woo enter bios password. I hit enter and got into bios where uder security tab
was shining ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD INSTALLED. There was no user password but
administrator password was set and it led to that i wasnt able to boot
anything. At all.
First thing i tried
was to flash bios but guess what? You need administrator password to do that.
Next thing i did
was removing CMOS battery for about an hour, but that did not help. It just
reseted the time and date, but admin password was still set. I suppose that
isnt up to date solution as it uses flash memory for storing password. But
worth the try.
Than are utilities
to reset CMOS, but they didnt worked at all or needed to boot from cd or flash
drive. No solution.
So i was browsing
an internet to find a solution but i found nothing.
But then luck
turned on me and i found an old forum thread where my solution was and it is
really simple.
1.
Go to Windows and set dat to 2002/1/2 (US date format)
2.
reboot and when it promt for password hit alt+r for
recovery password mode
3.
type in pass ALAA4ABA
And thats it!
Administrator password is gone!Than i found you can set any date, if u have
some problems with that ( up to 2011) and find your pass here
This was also
tested on another two ASUS notebooks A55C and F751LX.
This propably works
on any APTIO bios.
