EliteBook 2570p BIOS Admin password lost

Lost my admin BIOS pwd. The case created for support. They sent me bin file to set the partition or HP_TOOLS and USB power system with the keys "Windows + ArrowUP and ArrowDown.

Howerver, when I have the power of the regime like this, nothing changes in the startup at all.

These buttons really mean something?

I see on the Internet that this BIOS Auto-flash combo is Windows + B and power.

Thank you.

Good new!

I was able to reset the TPM password with no replacement motherboard.

Here is a manual that I had followed, its written by James Gallagher.

Thing that I was missing is marked "BOLD".  And I'll insist on REPEATEDLY, if you're not fast enough, it will ask password. If you are good at pressing repeat - it will make you go to the BIOS configuration where you will be able to restore security.

' 1. save smc.bin you support HP at the root of a USB thumb drive "(or save the file to the root of the drive D: HP_TOOLS') - I used a USB key, btw...
2. turn off the power the laptop
3 hold the Windows key + up arrow + arrow down and turn on the laptop
4 let go to the splashscreen HP keys
5.  Repeatedly press F10 in the screen that appears with "SMC order processed successfully"
6. This should get you into the BIOS where you must choose 'Reset BIOS to factory default security' and confirm by selecting Yes (duh)
7 exit the BIOS, saving the changes (duh)
8. after restarting the laptop, you will see the guest coveted for clear the TPM, which is shown below.
9. press F1 (again, duh)
10. Once restarted the laptop, the BIOS password is goners.
11. feel hunkydory!

  • Reset BIOS Admin password.

    Hi, I recently bought a HP 6530 laptop b to opportunity. I need to get into the BIOS to activate WIFI antennas, but I can not enter, because it keeps asking me for a password.

    I tried to remove the RTC battery and clear the CMOS memory, but I still cannot get into the BIOS.

    Or is there a default password that I can use?

    Can someone please help?

    Thank you very much.

    See if it works:

    A.

    RTC battery must be removed for at least 5 minutes. Don't forget to unplug the laptop and remove the main battery and perhaps the HD to get to the battery of the CCF.

    B. using the software:
    BIOS/CMOS password recovery tool would work. BIOS/CMOS password recovery tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC in DOS and run the program and get access to forgotten passwords of the BIOS/CMOS in seconds

    Hello

    Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

    If you contact HP Business support, they may be able to file a custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.
