Hi fellow, I trust you are blessed and healthy. I certainly am, having found this blog. I do have one question and yes, you may indeed have a laugh. I am. This old man erred on a grand scale. I unnecessarily voided my admin password in EZ Mode of the UEFI Gui on my Asus Vivobook X543ua. I cannot get past Enter Password. There is no Alt+R to get into recovery mode. I ran the battery flat, hoping to reset the uefi/bios to nom avail. Does this method BYPASS the UEFI so I can get into Asus recovery disk partition. If so, great, otherwise, please point me in any other direction but Asus support whom are strangely unhelpful. Blessings to you. Let’s converse soon.,
