Windows 10: UEFI /BIOS Masterpassword reset recommendations

Hi,
So I forgot my masterpassword to UEFI and i need to do a factory reset since my Laptop is ****ed but I have no clue which tutorial from Google is good or even will work for me so I need advice or better someone who can guide me through the whole process.
I have another Laptop that I could technically install Ubuntu on
I also have an external Harddrive (HDD 1Tb) to create a boot thingie.
I have a Predator Helios 300
It def. has UEFI and not simple BIOS
Windows Version: 10.0.18362 Build 18362

Thanks in advance

:)

Return to Legacy from UEFI - BIOS

Hi There

A while ago I was helped here to change from Legacy to UEFI. However, since then it seems, the Laptop (Latutide E6420) is running a bit slowly which was otherwise very quick until then. Now, it takes nearly a minute or so to boot up or shut down or even
to close a file. Just a couple of days ago, I updated the latest BIOS for this machine recommended by Dell.

I tried to go back to Legacy but the system was asking me to reset to UEFI or face boot problems. One advise said that I could disable 'Secure Boot' in Boot Manager and reset to Legacy. However, the Boot Manager is listed under UEFI Boot process and it only
starts Windows. Is there any way as easy as I changed it? This is absolutely under the hope that all will be as normal as it was in the beginning. Please give your thoughts and advice. Thanks.

 

UEFI resetting itself?

Hey guys I'm having a really annoying issue that is driving me crazy right now.

It seems that the UEFI for the Asus P8Z77-V PRO resets itself then when you change the settings it doesn't stick in OS until you reset CMOS.

The board is about half a year old and I'm not sure what's causing it. I reflashed the bios and I get the same thing. I don't think it's the battery because I can shut it down all the way, unplug it, and when I turn it back on it's fine. But randomly when you restart it forgets the settings.

Sometimes it forgets half the settings.

So what happens is the clock speeds become screwed up as well with all monitoring software reporting the wrong clock speed no matter what you do unless you reset the CMOS. So the setting would stick in UEFI but not in the OS. It seems really screwed up. I really need the comp and can't afford to send the motherboard to Asus since I have deadlines and I can't afford to buy a new board right now *Frown

Any suggestions? Thank you.
