I have this Asus notebook laptop model X541NA, OS Windows 10 home 64 bit. I am locked out. I can't remember the Windows password. I have a self booting prog that works on XP to Win 10. This prog will bypass the Windows password so the password can be reset or removed.
My problem is in the Bios on the Asus laptop. The Bios only sees the hard drive and not the internal optical drive, nor can I set the optical drive as # 1 in the boot order so the laptop will boot off the optical drive instead of the hard drive.
By the way i just got in the U.S.P.S today a brand spanking new optical drive from eBay for this laptop and the Asus laptop still doesn't see the optical drive. I fig that the old optical drive was bad. That's why I got a new optical drive. Also this new optical drive works in my Dell Inspiron 15-3541 that I am typing this post on right now.
PS: Now that my digital camera is charged up I took some pictures of the bios screens. And I made some progress. The bios is seeing the cd/dvd rom drive and is showing up in the boot order. But I still can't make the laptop boot off the cd/dvd drive instead of the HDD.
