How do I crack the BIOS password on an Asus S500C
I'm working on a laptop that the customer brought to me. She claims one of her brothers kids set the BIOS password and now does not remember it. I IM'd with an Asus tech and basically he told me to send it in and that ONLY Asus would be able to reset it. I think that's a bunch of BS and only a revenue generator. There must be a way to do this as I've done it before on older laptops.
I've looked and looked but this model of laptop must be pretty new as I can't find a whole lot out there specifically on this model.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cant you just pull battery and cmos? Must be a jumper that can be pulled as well.
shut off , unplug ac remove battery. Next you have to remove the cmos battery. After cmos battery removed, wait 20-30 minutes. Some PC/laptops if you hold power button for 10-30 seconds drains caps faster and you don't have to wait the 20-30 minutes. Reassemble and try getting into BIOS again.
Removing CMOS battery: May work or may not work. In most cases, it does not work. :-(
