I have an Asus Vivobook laptop running on Windows 8.1. But, I have forgotten the password to login to the system. Now I am trying to install Windows 10 via a bootable USB stick. But the problem is that I can't get into the boot menu no matter what I try.
I have tried all sorts of key combinations that I found online - Esc, Del, F2, F10... but none works. This link: shows how to get into the boot menu when logged into the system. But since I have forgotten the password, I can't get in. I tried restarting by long-pressing the Shift key and I get all other Advanced Startup options except UEFI firmware settings.
I never had experienced this type of issue in other laptops. Can anyone guide me through till the boot menu?

As of today, I have finally been able to get into the boot menu. Since the Fast startup option was turned on, I was unable to hit the Esc button at the correct time. As I tried some more times, I was in boot menu soon.
So, yeah... timing matters.
