HP ProBook 6440 b: BIOS/CMOS admin password

Installing windows 7 Professional, I discovered that I couldn't get into the BIOS or because it was the password for protected configuration. I tried a number of things, including the installation of HP ProtectTools Security stuff and it seems that everything what has done is to create several connection passwords. I can now in the program installation, but as a user, but not as an administrator, and so I can not change password. There is also another screen that shows where I have to enter a password and I don't know if what is happening due to the HP protect tools that I installed and then removed, or something in the BIOS. I uninstalled HP protect tools and reinstall windows 7 and I see still two password screens. I tried to update the BIOS by using a file downloaded from the HP Web site, but can not because I do not know the admin for access to the BIOS password.

Contact HP and they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

  • 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

    Someone has any suggestions, how to get around this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You mean the admin account password, which must be defined during the installation of the OS?
    This password cannot be disabled in the BIOS!

    But if you talk to supervisor password then I would recommend checking the utility called preinstalled Toshiba password tool.
    You should find it in the utility folder Toshiba.

    The password of Toshiba utility allows you to set, delete, and change the password user and supervisor.

    Check it!
