Original image has disappeared I think off the hard drive and the BIOS password set up does not work?

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 guess what it initially provided with?  Where can I find the UUID and what tech Department I would ask because if I have to call HP again and what other information should I have ready for them if you know? 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 a 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 with more than one answer then GET AHOLD OF HP TECHNICAL TEAM. As I said, I did it.

Model: HP Probook 4420 s

Type: XT940UT #ABA

Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate

BIOS version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20

SM BIOS Version: 2.6

Hardware Extraction layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514

Jason,

Sorry to hear about your friend and your problem.  The BIOS password cannot be reset without the help of HP.  They will need some information from your PC and increase your case.  I recommend you give them a call.

  • The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6.

    The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6. I don't have an ATI video card, the shortcut key is not related to the center of catalyst.

    I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 video card and I reinstalled Windows 7 x 64 three weeks ago. Since then, the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work.

    I tried to reinstall the program. I tried to clean the preferences file. Yet, nothing is done. I googled if there other programs that could take the shortcut for themselves. The InDesign menu says that the Ctrl + Alt + C is linked to the action "was". But nothing happens.

    If you have any suggestions on what do I do to fix this, please help.

    P.S.: before the reinstall, everything works great.

    MB: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe

    CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 3.4 GHz

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

    But no. I think I thought it somehow.

    I just reinstalled the CS6 InDesign from scratch, as stated in the above post. Just as new as possible. And he was always in trouble. Then I disabled the two automatic startup items:

    Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter wireless Tray Applet

    and

    Driver Logitech SetPoint.

    After that, everything is back to normal.

    I guess that one of them had caught the hotkey without mentioning, so that should be the fault. I don't think that other programs (with the exception of Adobe) have the same key as InDesign links.

    P.S.: Just restarted each disabled program and it's Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter Wireless Network Tray Applet that shows problems with the keys.

    So, thanks for trying to help me solve my problem.

    If anyone else has trouble with the keys and they have this specific bin running applet, better turn it off to be sure. In the Windows Task Manager, it is called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WLTRAY. EXE.

  • My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work

    My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work.

    One of them will solve your problem of camera:

    (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

    (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

    (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

    A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

    (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

    (4) If none of the suggestions above resolve your issue, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

    The side-by-side function does not work correctly, windows overlap.  How do fix you this feature?

    Hello

    It is Aero Snap.  When you select a window how you "cutting" it in position?  You do not use the window key and the arrow left/right or are you drag / drop window?  If you drag / drop, using the keyboard shortcuts help to solve the problem?

  • I can't turn off my touchpad of Hp, disable it in usual way does not work.

    Hi guys, I can't turn off my touchpad of Hp. the normal procedure of closing does not work. I bought 5 days back. It's a button up, once, I continue to pressing power, it displays the function stop, I tried more than 10 times. the stop screen pop-up does not appear.

    You can also press the up arrow in the lower right to open the Launcher to do stop (you need before you start a reinstallation). Once it opens, go to the settings tab. Click to open "device Info". At the bottom of the window, click to open 'Reset Options'. 'Close' should be the second choice there. I hope it will work for you.

  • When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program. The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect. All attempts to correct in the color management failed.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program.  The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect.  All attempts to correct in the color management failed.  Some images are color reversed negatively. and others not when the print window picture viewer options are increasing. and every time I print a normal color on the picture he reverse out come.

    If this does not work... update or just reinstall your printer driver may be worth a try.

  • I have a Macbook connected via WiFi to a Canon MG7520. The destination of auto scan does not work

    I have a Macbook connected via WiFi to a Canon MG7520. The destination of auto scan does not work. I put it in a subfolder under photos. The box is there on this subfolder. (My older guns would use) But this scanner and the 7120 times insist on ignoring my selection and use of the pictures folder. (when I save, they won't have a record dated in photos, but I would rather not clutter it.)

    Nobody likes Macs.

    When you open the settings of the utility Scan IJ, there are 3 tabs at the top. The first tab is settings when the analysis is started from the computer, the second tab is for setting when the analysis is started from the control panel. Make sure that you change the destination folder to 'Save to PC (self)' on the second tab!
