ProBook 6540 b: ProBook 6540 b BIOS locked

I bought broke ProBook 6540 b for parts on eBay. Managed to fix the card mother, added a drive hard, but cannot open the BIOS to set the configuration.

What can I do to unlock it? There is a service of HP that does this?

I found a software on the Internet that does the job and costs about US $ 25, but since I have nothing to hide (for laptop is stolen not :-)) Ii hope there is the simpler and less expensive way to do it.)

@rplecko

I wish I could have tested everything first, but you can always try the shotgun method.

Your options are.

Contact HP.

First thing is to save your settings.

Select 3 # re-program.

Press "S" to save the system information.

Given that your model is not listed, select "SHOTGUN".

After the reboot, repeat 'SHOTGUN' a second time.

I would like to know the result, so I can update my list.

    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.

    I actually found the problem. He was not with the password Bios "Fireport" itself, but the Wyse keyboard accompanying the Thin Client Z90D7.

    The keyboard has a manufacturing defect which depresses the key 'G' each time you press the button "T". A drop test good with the keyboard, released what was causing the problem, and I'm back in business...

  • 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.
