How to remove BIOS password on Elitebook 8770w?

Hello!I want to update BIOS on my Elitebook 8770w . However, the computer was locked withadministration password for BIOS and i could not remember this password. So can someone please help me to remove this password or anyway to update BIOS without it?

Dear Customer, Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you. This is to inform you that all HP Business Notebooks such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models infact they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial Number and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case. Please have a look at this link. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/49497-HP-​​Probook-Elitebook-BIOS-Password-Reset-Utility  Please Contact HP Business Notebook support they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.  Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

  • Can not remove BIOS password on Satellite 3000-504

    Hi,
    I cleared BIOS password in Toshiba Satellite 3000-504 to upgrade BIOS on this computer. So I entered BIOS > entered old password > enterd twice new blank password (2 x enter) and after this I reset computer.
    After restart computer again asked me to provide password, but the old password and blank password wasn't correct. And now I can't enter BIOS and start computer.
    Any suggestions what was happened and what can I do right now?
    Regards

    I dont know what was happen but one is sure: you have big problem now. Please contact authorized service in your country and let them remove BIOS password. It will cost you but unfortunately you do not have other choice.

  • Re: Remove BIOS Password Stellite A210-158

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-158.
    I gave him (unintentionally, of course) a BIOS password and do not know how to remove it. I was told to take his lithium battery in him, but I've disarmed and can not find it. Does anyone know how? In advance, thank you very much.

    You should use the forum search!!!
    There are a lot of threads about this and its always the same on every notebook. If you have forgotten your BIOS password you need help from an authorized service provider because the whole ROM module must be erased to delete the password. There is nothing what you can do in this case
    By the way, on the Toshiba website you can find a list of service providers :)

  • How to reset BIOS Password on Tecra A10?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to reset the BIOS password on a Tecra A10-112?
    Thanks!

    Of course there is way but this kind of info is top secret and definitely not to be posted on public forum.
    This is very important security feature and cannot be discussed here.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and they can remove it for you.

  • Re: Removing BIOS password on Tecra A8

    Greetings,
    It was recently purchased two secondhand laptops Toshiba Tecra A8with serial numbers Y6091612H and Y6091296H. Both were passworded (there is no opportunity even to go into the BIOS). On the Internet I found the information that it may reset the password using the response code.
    Is it possible to get the response code?

    Im afraid as*** is right.
    As far as I know Toshiba uses several methods for BIOS password removal and one of them is based on entering response code.
    With other words Toshiba service provider sends unique code to Toshiba and after short period of time ASP receives response code that can unlock certain notebook.
    With other words: notebook owner cannot do this on its own. It can be done by Toshiba service only.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
    Bye and good luck.

  • How to disable BIOS password on Satellite Pro A120?

    Is it possible to disable BIOS password on Pro A120 laptop?
    I know the password, but I can't delete it. I tried both through Password Utility on Windows and through BIOS, and in both I can change the password, but not disable it (i get DELETION DENIED message).
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there Majkel and all others,
    This forum gui is difficult to use/understand so apologies for my naivety.
    This is a strange situation so hopefully someone can help!
    Recently I found a Toshiba A120 satellite pro in a rubbish bin.
    I cant stand the idea of goog tech going to waste so I pick it out and dusted it off hoping that I could get it
    working again.
    However even though when I got it home and it powered up oh joy, my glee was indeed short lived by
    one single word, thats right
    "password="
    I tried reading the sata hard drive on a separate usb to see if I could find out whose it was and contact them.
    Hard drive dead.
    I tried knocking on all the doors near where I found it to find the owner and try and get the password from them.(fingers crossed someone may be able to help?)
    I tried my nearest laptop repair shop he quoted 100 for soldering in a new bios chip which sounded expensive and suspiciously like it wouldnt work.
    I'm willing to send it into toshiba if I have to but I would really like to find a way to contact the original owner
    and simply ASK THEM what the password is, I would even pay them to find out if I had to.
    The only info I have is the serial number which is- s/n- 76041309h or the longer number on the bottom which is- i76041309hssac0007009ENB
    If there is any way to get hold of the original owner and ask them it would be a godsend!
    Thank you to anyone who can help!
    Luke ;-)
