Okay i see the irony in my user name, and also the fact that this problem exists is very embarrassing but lets go;

STORY:
I OWN a Asus Zenbook UX331U which when you press the power button prompts for a password.
This password has been set in the bios (by me) which we can not access.
Folklore says you can get into a recovery mode by pressing ALT + R, unfortunately this does nothing but spam R into the password field. (many other attempts of this have been tried)

QUESTION(s):
can you please tell me how to fix this?

is there a cmos battery?
is there a tutorial for removing this?
is there even a recovery mode for my model?
Asus support has not been, supportive.
I'm in dire need of access to this laptop.

Any help is very very very appreciated.

ask the owner? there is forum rule about password issue
I am the owner.
Here comes the stupid thing.
The charger broke some time ago, thus i didn't use it.
I have configured the password myself, in the early spring of 2019.
I just bought a new charger because i need the laptop for work.
I just realized i'm that dumb that i forgot the password.
