troubleshoot: BIOS pass removal

my scenario:
enabled Admin & User passwords on laptop device. Unable to locate CMOS battery. I didn't want to dismantle the device. This method makes it so that I don't have to touch any of the inside hardware.

task: remove Admin & User BIOS password

this approach saves user from sending in the device back to ASUS (postage & handling & tech work)

my device specs: ASUS x202e, Windows 10 OS

temporarily turn off automatic mode in Date & Time
Adjust Date & Time to either of the following dates

example: set date within the OS to: 2002-01-02

the computer will restart, asking you for the BIOS password; key combination alt-r
A BIOS recovery password will be requested
for 2002-01-02, the password is ALA4ABA

the laptop will restart into Windows 10 you have recovered BIOS, removing Admin & User Passwords
