How to reset the HP Elitebook 8440p bios admin password

I bought this used and update the bios. It doesn't let me do unless I give him the admin password. How to remove the password?

SOLUTION: This is what I did and worked like a dream. Contacted HP, told them the problem. They "rise of the case," took my info. The next day, I sent a file called SMC.bin. It is formatted specifically for my machine to match the UUID. A file copied to FAT 32 format USB key, started in accordance with the instructions of e-mail, password bios reset.

I did it via the cat on the HP website.

Screw with the bios battery will not work on Elitebook...

  • 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?

    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!

    How to reset the password on the logon screen?

    I can not access the installation of the establishment or BIOS because I can't pass this screen. Enter something wrong 3 times turns off the computer. I do not have the current password and I don't know what kind of password is and why it s asking one as soon as I turn it on.

    How can I solve this problem?

    You can not fix it. You can only disable it, but to do this, correct password must be known to you.
    As many times before in this forum we have already discussed on this topic.

    Password is very important security feature and we cannot advise how to bypass or remove passwords on the public forum. In other words, each stolen notebook protected by password will be easy to start and access to the recorded data will be easy.

    What is your laptop? You may have purchased this used an and now it is blocked by password?
