If it is a software-related issue, then no, Asus would not cover the costs towards repair. Manufacturer warranties cover most hardware-related issues--not software.

That said, I would recommend calling Asus Support and advising them of the issue. See if they can troubleshoot a solution for you. Depending on what the issue is, they may be able to get you up & running again without cost. Alternatively, you may pursue service repair options.

Why the password will not budge is a sad and strange case. See the thread on the link below to learn of your options at this stage.
