Cannot access BIOS

Hello

I bought a HP Pavilion 17 e072nr some time ago, and now I want to change the boot sequence.
(I want test/install Linux alongside Win8.1)
When I bought it was equipped with Win8, and I upgraded to Win8.1 so I have a UEFI instead of a BIOS.
When I start with advanced options and I choose BIOS, the system asks you an administrator password.
However, I have never set up an administrator password, and the password that I use my administrator account is not accepted. I tried 3 passwords possible, then it will display "disabled system: 94205281.

I asked the seller if he has set up a password but it is certain that he didn't and tried to help but couldn't.
Anyone know how to recover a such password or another way to get into the BIOS?
When I try again once I get three new chances, so I can puzzle for as long as I want...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try BART.

  • Cannot access BIOS laptop Aspire 7250

    Hi all, I have a laptop Acer Aspire 7250-0209 who cannot access the BIOS menu. When I turn on the laptop it just see the Acer boot screen and then immediately switch to a black screen with white text saying "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any." At first I thought that the HD was defective, so I replaced with a new HD but still its giving the same problem. Not only can I not load/start windows but there is no option to access the BIOS (even I tried pressing F2, F10, F12, delete). Please can someone enlighten me on what is possible for me to be able to access the BIOS and reinstall windows. Thank you

  • Cannot access BIOS after own Win 7 installed on the new HD

    The machine is HP Elite E9240F. Here's what I did.

    1 replace the plant HD with faster player - went well

    2. clean install Win 7 on new drive - activate - went well

    3 reinstall the disc supplied with the box in the first place & format - went well.

    Now everything starts fine, and loads of Windows. NO problem BUT I cannot access the BIOS more. Not that I need at this time, but I would like to know that where I did it, I could.

    Repeated F1 or F11 at startup pressure will produce the black screen for the Windows Boot Manager.

    I removed the CMOS battery and retried - same results. I can access the blue screen when I select the boot sequence by pressing ESC but never can I go back in the system BIOS.

    Thoughts?

    All these systems are a bit different but F10 to enter the bios to me.  If it is your PC then F10 to enter the bios: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01925486

  • 6 beeps startup then normal but cannot access bios

    My computer is a desktop HP ENVY h8xt, Intel® Core™ i7-3770, 3.4 Ghz (Costco) which is the same as the HP 1420 t CTO with 64-bit Windows 8 H8

    I added a FX - 785 A-ZDF4 Double D XFX Radeon HD 7850 1 GB 256 - bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x 16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX... When I start, I hear 6 beeps, and then the computer starts fine and the video card.  However, when I try to access the bios by pressing f10 at startup, the computer restarts.  I'm unable to access the bios to try one of the solutions I've seen on the forums.  How can I eliminate the beeps and access the bios?

    I've also updated the PSU to an OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V SLI certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC power supply which should have a lot of power (700w).

    I managed to solve this problem, and obviously it's a thing of Windows 8.  Obviously when you add a market after video card in a "certified Windows 8" PC, you will need to disable "secure starting", according to this link.

    In addition, in order to access the bios of Windows 8 you must get the bios from Windows 8 according to this link.

    Among the many changes coming to Windows 8 new computers designed for this is a change in the way we access BIOS of our computers. >>

    This allowed me to get into the bios and disable start-up secure and everything's fine.

    Hello

So either no access to change PC settings and the BIOS keys do not work when you press during loading. Help, please

  • Cannot access BIOS when OS disk encrypted w / Bitlocker, starting on the USB key is not unlock disc

    Hello

    I enabled Bitlocker on my Acer Aspire 5315. The system partition is encrypted and the data partition. My motherboard doesn't have a TPM chip, so I opted for the unlock with a USB key.

    When I start the PC or wake them from their hibernation, the splashboot (with the logo of Acer) BIOS screen does not display the information below on how to access the BIOS (press F2) or the boot menu (F12). And therefore I can't access those as I used to.

    BitLocker does not account for the USB key, then asks for the password to unlock the HARD drive. Then Windows starts very well.

    However, restart (by a Windows or after you have entered the wrong password Bitlocker too many times), the BIOS splash screen is normal (with how access BIOS and boot menu), I can access BIOS by pressing F2 AND succesfully Bitlocker unlocks the HARD drive with the USB flash drive without having to ask for the password.

    So, my question is how Bitlocker unlock the HARD disk automatically via the USB when the PC starts?

    Thank you for reading.

    Note: I posted this question on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprosecurity/threads they suggested that I ask the Acer support.

    Thank you also get answers in the TechNet forums.  I'm sorry that you were unable to get a more complete answer it.

    We suggest that you uninstall BitLocker and decrypt the drive to determine if this restores your ability to access the BIOS.

  • Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

    Hello

    Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

    (a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

    (b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

    (c) who knows what else could go wrong

    I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

    Someone at - it ideas?

    David

    Hello

    First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

    OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

    But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

    I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.
