Asus ROG G703GI Password UL Info only request

[j0fer]

Greetings!

I obtained, legitimately, this laptop at an estate sale (technically my son did since he works for the estate sale company and gets first dibs on stuff before they open the sale). It has a power-on password, or user password, on the BiOS that I'm trying to get stripped out. It's apparently stored in NVRAM, so just flashing something new won't do it. Because it was an estate sale, obviously the original owner isn't available to ask.
Anybody have any pointers to where I need to go?
The path I'm on right now is trying to zero out what I think is the user password in an NVRAM sub org - C811FA38-42C8-4579-A9BB-60E94EDDFB34.
So far though all I've managed to do is kill the ROG logo before the password prompt, lol.
Part of my job is reverse engineering, but I'm not afraid to admit what I don't know...I've never played around with the bios.
I'm happy to keep up the effort, but if someone who just totally loves it wanted to mod the bios dump...I wouldn't complain.

Apparently threatening myself to give up worked...I got it.

Hi friend, you solved it ?

Indeed. The learning curve was steep...but eventually I was able to enumerate where, in the raw binary in hex, the password is encoded and zero it out.
One thing I did start to wonder, though, is for people that buy replacement chips off eBay - are they not operating with someone else's MAC and Serial no.?
