A bios or cmos jumper
Your motherboard a CMOS jumper, to find it you need to look through user's manual. Also in user's manual it's written what you need to do to clear CMOS memory.
There are three ways to clear the CMOS on a computer. You can access the BIOS menu and reset the BIOS settings, you can use the motherboard jumper or clear it by reseating the CMOS battery.

(Computer should be turn off) To get to the BIOS/CMOS of the computer with you not knowing the password, first open the system unit, then take the CMOS battery and jumper out (refer to the motherboard documentation to locate the jumper) then set the jumper from 2 and 3 pins to 3 and 4 pins or from 1 and 2 pins to just 1. Put the battery back in, then turn on the computer, count to 20. Turn off the computer, set the jumper back to its original position then turn the computer back on, try to access BIOS/CMOS the password should now be gone.

Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware.

By Using the Motherboard Jumper: In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method. Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc. When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin. Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. B. By Using Software: I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.: BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool Service
Re set your CMOS on your mother board. Fined your mother board's tipe and fined the tech PDF for your board. On most board's the JPT1 Jumper will clear your CMOS.
First, if you haven't yet, replace the battery. I know it checks out OK, but for around $2, why not? If that doesn't help, check the motherboard to see if the reset CMOS jumper has been put on correctly. It is a 3 pin jumper, with one set being reset, and the other set being normal. Check your manual for the location of the jumper, and the correct jumper setting. As a next to last resort, try loading the factory default CMOS settings and restarting. If it still errors out, check with ASUS (http://usa.asus.com)
