is there a difference between an ASUS HDD Password and Master Password

[Jen4242]

My exboyfriend messed with my computer. He gave me the password to the first 2 passwords but now like a couple years later my computer is all messed up. And in trouble shooting I realized the existence of the master password. Never really notoced it before because it was an option underneath where u enter the HDD password. I know he NEVER gave it to me! I have the other ones still on the original paper! Now I am not sure if my computer has a bad virus or what but it keeps showing a blue screen but it is gone b4 you can read the whole thing! But now I am curious what is up w/the "master" password! Oh and if anyone has insight as to what is wrong with my computer I'd happily take any advice! But not necessary. Curious esp bc I wonder what might be hidden behind it. This dude was crazy!! Thank you!!!

That might be a BIOS password, a Windows password, or some other 'password'.

However....there is nothing we out here can do for you to get around it. Forum rules prevent, among other reasons.
My suggestion? Save your personal stuff elsewhere, sell it, and buy something new.

Great idea, then the person who purchases it will come here and ask how to bypass the password 😛

True. But if I were the owner, I wouldn't hold onto that PC.
