HP ProBook 6540 b: administrator BIOS password

Hello

I changed the BIOS password on my laptop and forgot it... It brings up a keyboard on the screen after the third attempt. It shows system lockdown after entering on the OSK. Is there a way I can get help from HP to unlock the BIOS Admin password? How much time it will give me to try again because I rebooted and entered the password 100 s of time and I have entered the good one somewhere... After the first failure, he said: "enter the password again. Does that mean that authenticaton failed or should I try to enter the password again?

I hope you can help!

Fred

  • Administrator Bios password does not work on HP 4420 s XT940UT #ABA Windows 7 64-bit

    Someone please help me with this!

    I bought this laptop from a friend (have receipt) who sell it to me because the screen was cracked and spidered all out when you the activated. And everywhere he went to ask to get the screen fixed it is very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said that it would be just a newer laptop. So he sold me this which is a model Probook of HP4420s XT940UT #ABA. About a week after I bought this Probook friend who sold it to died me suddenly. It was sudden and terrible. Some time later, I had the time of the purchase of the LCD for this model, replace it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. After installing all my software and using the laptop for a while now, I wanted to get into the Bios that I've never done. So when I started the laptop, click ESC, then F10 to enter the BIOS, there were two places to enter a password is different then all Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees I put in place using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/administrator. Well I can do most of the changes with the one I put in place with my password but my password does not work, nor can I get in some very significant changes that I wanted to do using Bios/administrator, as kindling the LoJack, namely the blocking of the hard drive etc. , turning on turbo boost, fan, etc. Well, since the person I bought is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to the answer to this question of administrator/BIOS password / problem.  I tried to take battery Rtype and restore that way, didn't work. Several times, I called HP and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS, I have already, would not let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and do not put anything in BiosConfigureUtility.exe happens, said just a wrong command. When I try to enter the BIOS through the C: file in the files of the SSM, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open it and it just flashes a way small order page to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop thinking I have a lot of time and money invested in it now. The problem would have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bits I suppose initially that he came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Pro is what I installed. I'm mixed responses from many different people on this and would like an answer from HP someone who has experience in dealing with the BIOS in the Probooks business models if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since become big fan of most HP, Dell and Lenovo.  I intend to buy two probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, but better.  Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help.

  • EliteBook p 8460 - unknown administrator BIOS password

    Hi all

    I have an Elitebook 8460p with Windows 7 and Protecttools Security manager installed.

    When I entered the BIOS, there was my user account and a present guest account.

    If you use my own account, most were grey, but using the comments into account all parameters were available.

    Some time ago I updated Protecttools, but now the guest account is gone and there is a BIOS administrator account. It asks for a password but I never put a!

    How to enter the BIOS now?

    Problem solved.

    I opened a support call at HP, they asked me for a couple of details of the system and prepared a special folder. During the power on sequence key must be pressed, the file has been read and the BIOS has been released again.

    Then I did a reset to the default values and creates a new BIOS user with admin rights, a new administrator and sparekey BIOS password.

  • ProBook 4530 s forgoot bios password

    Hi, I forgot the bios password, I need help (sorry for basic English) (pt - br)

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

  • EliteBook 2170p: administrator BIOS password reset

    I bought a used laptop on ebay and installed Windows 7 above. I am able to use it very well.

    But the BIOS is protected by an administrator password that I can not understand how to clear.

    I tried to reset/reinitting but TPM module which has not helped.

    It would reset if I pulled the RTC battery for repair? I don't want to open up the laptop

    and delete the parts unless I know this could work.

    The only reason I want to reset it's because Bluetooth is disabled in the BIOS for a reason any.

    Thank you is advanced!

    Welcome to Dimitri.

    Remove the RTC battery will not work!

    There is no master password for ProBooks or EliteBook.

    Sorry, but you have to contact HP support.
