I have an ASUS X556UA laptop, which is on BIOS 304. I have recently come across a virus which has hijacked my browser and is not allowing me to do much or install removal tools, etc.



I want to reinstall Windows, although I haven't been able to, since I apparently set an admin password at some point.
I have researched many ways to remove the password.



Alt+R for recovery password doesn't work apparently because of the older BIOS version.
I can't use EZ-Flash, since I have only user access to the BIOS.



WinFlash doesn't work on that version of the BIOS.



My name does appear on the BIOS luckily,
so I might be able to take it to a service center. 
But for now, I am stuck and need help!
