For BIOS or power-on passwords.
There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks.
You will need to contact HP.

Compaq Presario CQ57 Laptop System Bios recovery problem

A customer of mine has a Compaq Presario CQ57 that has developed a BIOS problem.
I am unsure if it had had a BIOS update through HP Support Assistant or if it just decided to start for no reason but it now intermittently decides to recover the System BIOS at start up.
It is all very random. It may not do it for a while - working fine every time it is switched on - but then just decides to go into this recovery. Sometimes the recovery sorts it first time, sometimes it has to go through the recovery mode several times before it sorts it out. Once sorted, Windows and the laptop work fine.
I have tried to remedy it by installing BIOS updates. There are 4 available on the HP website. I have installed all four at various points - sometimes they install, sometimes they fail. Sometimes the recovery mode kicks in straight after - usually after a fail which makes sense. Other times it will work OK for many start ups and then just go back to it's old tricks.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello rmaiden,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Compaq Presario CQ57-212NR gives you an error after running the system recovery.
Can you tell me if this error loads within Windows or if it prevents you from starting up.
I would suggest you acquire an ISO image of Windows 7 and burn it to a DVD. Use this to install Windows and then run the recovery after. This should remedy the problem.
Let me know if this works for you!

Bios on compaq presario cq57 keeps recovering every time I boot

Relatively new laptop. It is a Compaq Presario CQ57 running windows 7 64 bit. Up untill recently everything was fine but about a week ago it started failing to boot and then after turning it on and off, going into the bios recovery. It goes through this (sometimes more than once) before finally giving a message saying bios recovered, error 500 (and to look here for assistance). The issue seems intermittant. Sometimes it boots fine, other times it takes several attempts with the automated recovery. I think the automatic update for the bios has run once or twice, but I didn't notice any updates immediately prior to this issue starting.
Does anyone have any answers. Thank you.

No ideas anyone? Took me about an hour to get the thing to boot today. Several attempts at turning on and off during which it wouldn't even POST, and then once it did post, the bios recovery system ran through several times before I finally got back into windows.
The exact computer model incidentally is a CQ57-364EA.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a software issue or whether there is a hardware failure somewhere. I'm figuring it's software, because when the computer does finally boot, it works normally.

My compaq presario cq57 wont download any new files.

hey guys I'm in need of some help. After doing a system recovery my computer will no longer download any new files from the internet. from browsers to games I've tried it all. and nothing will download. it keeps coming up with a message that says that it can not find the file that im trying to use. so i was wondering what might be causing this and ho wi would fix this, if its possible to fix.

Hi @christian12 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Compaq Presario CQ57 Notebook and issues with installing drivers. First, try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started. Restart the computer after this step and try installing again. If this is not automatic and started that is why you can not install drivers.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hard drive went bad, so i rplaced with a new one. I had i windows image backup, but the wizard couldn't find the hard drive. I ordered recovery disks from HP poped the first of two in, but the machine doesn't recognize the recovery disk as a bootable disk.

Does Compaq Presario CQ57 support UEFI?

I have Compaq Presario CQ57-425ER and want to use Windows 8.1 on GPT Disk. I made a bootable USB Flash Drive with Rufus (selected GPT-UEFI option), but my laptop can't start from this flash drive. There's a message - no bootable device. Among drivers for my laptop i found HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment. Here is a description: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55477.html. I found 2 interesting points in this description: Provides support for GPT drives and Provides support for UEFI System Partition installation. I tried to launch that flash with windows on other notebook and it works fine. But in my laptop I always get the message that there's no bootable media. So, is there a support of UEFI in CQ57? And if yes, what should I do?

Here's the thing GPT is for HDD that are 2tb or bigger not for USB flashdrive. If your laptop came with Windows 8 it should have UEFI bios setup.

Mazzif’s program will detect your UUID, Serial Number and model number then use that information to produce an .exe file to clear the password.
If you find it to be too technical then.
Replace the BIOS chip.

Can I put a SATA 3 Solid State Drive in my Compaq Presario CQ57-447SI?

I would like to upgrade my Compaq Presario CQ57-447SI and replace the hard drive with a solid state drive. I'm considering the OCZ-Vertex-4 2.5 inch SATA 3 Solid State Drive (128GB) but I'm not sure if this will be compatible with my notebook?

Hi:
If a SATA II drive is a lot less, then probably yes.
Notebook specs are very sketchy.
The chipset may be capable of SATA III transfer speeds, but HP may not have SATA III controllers on the motherboard.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/value-chipsets/mobile-chipset-hm65.html
As you can see from the specs at the link above, the chipset has 2 SATA III ports and 6 SATA II ports.
You would think that HP would hook up the primary SATA AHCI controller to one of the 2 SATA III ports, but that may not be the case.
That is the best I can do for you since I don't have your notebook and cannot confirm the speed the drive runs at.
So, if there is not much of a difference in price, I would take a gamble on the SATA III SSD.
