Administrator Bios Password won't work on HP 4420s XT940UT#ABA Windows 7 64 Bit

Someone please help me with this!!
I bought this laptop from a friend (have a receipt) who sold it to me because the screen was cracked and all spidered out when you turned it on. Well everywhere he went to ask about getting the screen fixed it was very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said he would just get a newer laptop. So he sold me this one which is a HP4420s XT940UT#ABA Probook Model. About a week after I bought this Probook the friend who sold it to me died suddenly. This was sudden and terrible. Some time later I got around to buying the LCD screen for this model, replaced it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro edition 64 Bit. After installing all my software and using the laptop for quite some time now, I wanted to get into the Bios which I had never done. So when I started up the laptop, hit escape, then F10 to enter BIOS, there were two places to enter a password which is different then any Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees that I set up using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/Administrator. Well I can make most changes using the one I set up with my password however my password doesn't work nor can I get into some of the very important changes I wanted to make using the Bios/Administrator, like turning on the LoJack, figuring out the hard disk lock etc, turning on turbo boost, fan controls, etc. Well Since the person I bought it from is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to for the answer to this Administrator/BIOS password question / problem. I tried taking out the Rtype battery and resetting it that way, didn't work. I called HP multiple times and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS I have already, wouldn't let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and put in BiosConfigureUtility.exe nothing happens, just tells me wrong command. When I try to get into the BIOS going through the C: file into the SSM files, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open and it just flashes a small command page way to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop figuring I have so much time and money invested into it now. Could the problem have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bit I guess it originally came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is Windows 7 Pro Ultimate 64 bit compatible so that's what I installed. I get mixed answers from a lot of different people on this and would like a answer from an HP person who has experience dealing with the BIOS in the Business models of Probooks if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since became a major fan of HP over Dell and Lenovo products. I plan to buy two more probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, only better. Thank you for reading this and hopefully someone can help.
Model: HP Probook 4420s
Type: XT940UT#ABA
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate
BIOS Version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20
SM BIOS Version: 2.6

once you log a support case with HP customer care, they will provide you once utility and steps to run it. which can capture the UUID. BTW- UUID is a unique ID for each machine (16 or more digits) stored in BIOS itself.
Once the utility results(UUID and other info) in the log file, shared with HP. they can generate a key file(SMC) to reset.
well, Technical support depertment can help you in it, no need to ask for any specific person or department.
hope it helps.

Steps to be followed:
Use the unlock code posted above to enter the BIOS
Disable all passwords that are enabled
If asked for current password - type the unlock code
For new password, just press ENTER key
Repeat the same for verify password column.
Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes.

Incase if the Password doesn’t work please try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook
Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery
Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds
Plug in the Power/AC Adapter (Leave the battery out for the moment) & Start the Notebook
If you now see a password box, Please type the same Password I shared before and press enter

Bios password lost

i have an toshiba with windows 7, somebody has put a password in the bios, and nodoby knows about that password, what i have to do?

Thats not completely accurate, there are some models that have a known bios glitch where a password can be spontaneously set. Customer service would know if their system was one of those, and if so the reset would be free, and the service center would also update the bios so that it would not be likely to happen again.
They did not give their model number, so there was no way to check on that possibility myself.

Hi,
Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.
If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

Administrator shut out! password lost.

Situation and problem description:
administrator forgot password. shut out of system. lost admin password is same as login password.
Logged on using another account which has no system privileges nor most applications nor utilities (a child's account).
Time Machine Back ups on separate hard drive are obviously not accessible.
Can not use installation CD as this account has no privileges - so can not use the option to reset password holding down C key.
There is a key logger installed but again it is tied to the administrator and so hot key cannot be used (the key logger will have recorded the new password which has caused this problem - together with lack of foresight, obviously.
Any solution considered including ways to initialize disk even if content is lost - currently the computer is only good enough for my 5 year old.
I need a hacker!
Hypnosis an option? (joking...then again, maybe not!)

Hi, it really depends if this is a Firmware Password, a Filevault PW, or what, if a simple login PW...

Re: Satellite A210-14S - I lost BIOS Password

Hi,
i lost my Bios-password at my A210-14s.
Now i am not avalible to change my Bios Settings...
What can i do against this problem?
Tw33k.

A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.
Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.
When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.
Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.
B. By Using Software:
I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds

There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks and most Business class laptops.
