Z170 UEFI Fast Boot Issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So around 7-8 months ago, I left my brother my PC in Canada before moving back to the Philippines and the issue was I disconnected the log in from my Microsoft Account and set it to offline. I changed it to something generic only people in the family could use but upon restart, the password didn't work. I spent a whole day trying all the possibilities (all my passwords, all in caps if I accidentally typed it so etc.) and decided I don't mind reseting the whole computer through the UEFI.
Another issue arose, I was on fast boot and I can't access to UEFI. Even through navigating through the lock screen to enter the UEFI, it just stays at the black screen. I didn't have real time to contact support then as I was already leaving for the Philippines.

In around a week, I will have access to my PC again and would simply like to know if there's a manual way to be able to enter the UEFI to reset my PC.
