The computer still works fine, i just cant enter the BIOS or the UEFI Firmware Settings thing. When pressing F10 at boot up the computer beeps 8 times
My computer is a HP Pavilion 500-111ea

Hi,
Please explain in detail what changes you made in an attempt to change the boot logo.
HP did not post a clear CMOS procedure for your model PC. Review the below image. Unplug your PC, hold down the power button for 1 minute. Now open up your PC and move the jumper blocks over to the left per the image for 30 seconds and then move the jumper blocks back. Plug the PC back in and give it go. If you still get the eight (8) beeps then you could try a ROM image recovery.
Eight (8) beeps in an invalid ROM image. Review this HP posted article for trying a BIOS recovery.
You might try this HP tools software. Download the software to a different PC and create the USB 2 bootable tools flash drive. If you can get the flash drive to boot up then look for a firmware management selection. There is not any documentation available on how to use this function so you are on your own. HP Support might be able to assist you with a BIOS recovery and/or you might be faced with sending in your PC to an authorized HP repair facility to have the BIOS reflashed.

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

How to reset BIOS in Sun Workstation Ultra 20?

Hi,
My Sun Workstation Ultra 20 don't start (micro fan running but nothing on the screen)
I think is a BIOS problem and I would to reset it but i don't how to do it.
Thanks.

I suggest two possibilities.
(1) Remove AC cord. Remove computer's side cover.
Remove the t.o.d. battery and wait 5 minutes before reinstalling the t.o.d. battery.
Reinstall the chassis side cover and plug the AC cord back in.
or alternatively...
(2) Get the documentation. Read the documentation.
Find the "Clear CMOS" jumper and momentarily move JP15.
Neither of those methods has any finesse, but they work.
My preference is for suggestion #2
(you never know what else you might learn from the documentation).

How to reset or clear computer.

I'm looking to clear up space on my computer or even reset it to factory settings. Since i have a Macbook Air i do not have any discs to reset. If someone would help that would be great! Thanks!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Yes. If you know who's company is was a part of, the BES admistrator can send a default IT policy to device to remove any restrictions from the device. I also found you can try removing the policy yourself. I've never tried this, but here's a link describing how to do so: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Remove_IT_Policy

How to reset bios to factory settings

I was reinstallin windows.....but pc died midway...when I restarted pc it didn't want to recognise any usb ports, also it says in setup options I cannot install windows on any of my partitions, although drive is readable...cannot accces bios as My laptop keyboard does not work and normally use usb keyboard. I tried unplugging battery, power and taking out rtc battery...somewhere on hp website also says I should hold in power key for 15 seconds...still does not recognise usb ports or harddrive...recognises cd rom though

You state that the HDD is readable, but not recognized. If BIOS is not recognizing the HDD, then it shouldn't be readable on that system.
Where exactly is the HDD being determined to be readable?
For a hard reset, I recommend holding the power button for at least 30 seconds with all components disconnected (charger, battery, external devices). I have seen others recommend a full minute.
If you power on the notebook and press the F10 key about once a second, BIOS should load. Here, the bottom should list what key to load the defaults (usually f9).
What is the exact model of the notebook?
NOTE: Do NOT provide the serial number.

How to reset bios password for laptop( HP pavillion zd8060, pr315ua)

I need to reset the bios password for my HP Pavilion Zd8060USA, Part #: PR315UA.
Systm Disabled Code:00293 0r 02993

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01383095.pdf
Please read the instructions to clear the password in Chapter 1, section 1.2, page 1-4.
Wait 30 minutes, not 5. Five minutes is not enough time to drain the current in most cases.

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.
