Again, the problem is, I forgot the User password. I didn’t try too hard commiting that to memory because I just assumed (like with previous laptops) that I can reset it if I forget.
I can get to the BIOS Menu but it has 3 lines, one asks for “Current Password” and then the other two is “new password” and “confirm new password”. It doesn’t recognize the admin password as a valid password, but it does recognize it if I try to change the admin passwors instead. I tried removing the Admin password, and did it, but the User password is still in place, so I just quickly re-added the admin password back in so I don’t lock myself out when I reboot.
Not sure if this is a “modern laptop” thing, or if its only Asus that does that. I had HP and Dell before, and they just let you reset the user password with he admin one.

I’m very sorry, I missed the part when you said you didn’t know the user password. My bad!
It sounds like the way that the user space is managed in your bios won’t permit any other alternatives other than the possibility of deleting the user account from the administrator account? Is that possible? You’re not gonna be able to reset that password unless you know it. That’s kind of the point of the password. Unfortunately, it seems that your bios does not allow for you to change the user password, but it may let you delete the account altogether and re-create it with a new password. That however, may cause a bunch of other problems that I can’t really foresee without knowing a lot more information.

Is this an LLM?

It really does read exactly like an LLM

Are you? Don’t bother answering. I’m blocking you.

Have you read your reply to OP?
It’s a bunch of circular repetitive answers that simply re-iterate what OP has already said.
So it sounds like an LLM response.
