I setup administrator password for BIOS in laptop ROG GL553VW ,but I forgot what was that.

Now I can't reinstall OS, can not change BIOS change settings... etc.
I can access user BIOS only.

I tried :
* remove CMOS battery from motherboard ,wait for a minute (remove batteries , press power on button )
* Recovery special password, found at old thread : setting BIOS date to old date, then at password input press (Alt+r) for recovery password : (Alt+r) not bring up recovery password input.
* Hiren boot CD, DOS BIOS utils.

Nothing works.

Anybody have idea what to do ?

Unfortunately we don't have any way of verifying that you are the legitimate owner of this machine on a forum like this. So it wouldn't be ethical for someone to try to help break into a machine we can't confirm isn't stolen. I would try contacting ASUS support. I'm not sure if they have a protocol for this but presumably they would be able to get in with a current backdoor password.
