EliteBook 8730w: need help with reset password BIOS HP Elitebook 8730w

Dear community, I have a HP Elitebook 8730w and I forgot the BIOS password. I tried everything I could remember, I slept several days above to remind him, but I'm lost. I contacted HP support and they said that they would not help with a file of type smc.bin (which has been mentioned in many forums). No idea how to fix? I need to change the HARD disk but do not dare to do so that I can not configure the new HDD or SSD in BIOS.

Help would be appraciated. I do not directly post P/N and S/N, due to privacy regulations in this forum. But if anyone can help me, please send a message and I'll post all the necessary details.

I am a student and have small budget so I was willingly using this Elitebook old but fine. But now I'm really in trouble.

  • I'm using a MAC with the current software. I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player. My password does not work. I ' v reset my password and restarted my computer. I need help with my password at the bottom of load.

    I'm on a MAC and my password does not work, I reset my password and I can not even download Adobe Flash Player.

    This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

    If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

    If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

    If you are still puzzled, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones need help with resetting the voice message counter

    Recently, I moved the United States in India and brought with me my favorite Storm 9530. In the United States, I had Verizon as my career and I went to Vodafone in India. Prior to joining Vodafone, he had 5 posts not read/unheard voices and so my Storm showed o_o 5 on the home screen. After that I went to Vodafone, this count is reset. I tried all over the web for a solution to remove this notification of my camera, but can't find a viable solution. According to my understanding, I thought that the count resets automatically once I have activate my voicemail to Vodafone, but after I signed, I realized that the Vodafone India use no method of "Notification of device" for voice messages, but sends an SMS whenever you have a virtual machine. With this result, the number of old was put in my camera never gets reset or reset.

    Y at - there someone who can give me a solution for this reset? Is there a way/software that will let me access the device's internal data structures and reset. My carrier, Vodafone India already has informed me that they cannot help me with this.

    Thanks in advance.

    The solution does not work. The only thing you need to keep in mind is to first take a full backup of the device via Device Manager and wiping the device, DO NOT remove the third-party applications.

    I had to reinstall all applications that a lot of time.

    What connection password are you referring to that the previous poster has said? If the windows password go and ask the seller again and this time it take to them and have their input the password and then after that go to administrator accounts, and delete passwords. Or you can always use the serial number and part number and order support HP recovery disk and use it to clean the computer installed at the factory. These HP discs is not expensive but are essential to have.

  • Need help with reset factory for Thinkpad X 40

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 40-2371, I want to get back to its factory settings. It doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, so I can't use a recovery CD. Operating system is Windows XP Professional. I tried to use the "Access IBM" and buttons "F11" to see if I can find any option of restoration of the factory, but there is none. Advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forum!

    It seems that the recovery partition is missing or damaged in total. You will need to get an external multimedia drive and install the OS from scratch.

    Good luck.
