HP Probook/Elitebook BIOS Password Reset [Utility]

So a few months back, I got an HP Core i7 Probook 6550b from my dad (that he picked up 2nd hand). It had a busted display though. Upon repair, it was found to be BIOS Password protected. And thus began my quest to reset the protection. Long story short here, I did what I set out to do. I was able to reset the TPM, and clear the password. Along the way, I have applied my technique to a few other models and have confirmed successful TPM reset. I now have a self contained utility to generate "keys" based on your specific serial number and uuid. The Key is unit specific. The keys are DOS executable , and will clear the TPM.
Confirmed List of models are:
Probook 6550b
ProBook 6460b
EliteBook 2560p
EliteBook 2740p
EliteBook 8440p
EliteBook8640p
I am confident that my system will be successful on these listed models as well.
HP 2230s
HP 2730p
HP 4310s
HP 4510s
HP 6455p
HP 6535b
HP 6545b
HP 6730b
HP 6735b
HP 6930p
HP 8530p
HP 8530w
HP 8540w
HP 8560p
HP 8730w
I sugguest anyone who has one of these models to give it a shot and help the comunity by building up the confirmed list as well as helping yourself by solving your issue. Look at my youtube video [link removed by moderator](no scam, no spam, download link in description) read the comments...I help people.

BIOS password reset on hp 6930p

Hi All,
Please, help me to reset bios password on my HP 6930p.
Thanks in advance

There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks and most business class laptops.
If you can boot and still access a Windows OS try this first.

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.
4. Replace the BIOS chip.

If you have good soldering skills order the BIOS chip. You will receive a picture of the chips location after purchase.

Bios password reset for HP 6735s (not 6735b) laptop

Recently, I managed to find a replacement board for my laptop however I found out that there was an issue with getting into the systems BIOS as there was a password set and the company I bought that board off had no clue what it was set to.
Now I have tried all of the simple ways like removing the CMOS battery and trying the backdoor password (which I might add never worked) but still cant get into the bios to update it or change the boot sequence. I even requested some information about this issue directly to HP Support and they cant help due to the fact that the software they have to do this only work on 2009 and later models (my machine was built 2008).
I have all the information including the UUID however cant seem to find either a DOS application that will succesfully view or reset the password or anyone that would be able to point me in the direction of such a appliocation.
Before anyone says anything about a reset button or anything that simple, I have tried all that and have no such jumper or switch on the mainboard.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root

Help with Bios Password Reset Service

I am trying to use the Bios Password Reset Service for Power On password and Hard Drive Password. The current setting in the Bios is "Enabled, In Progress". The Bios sidebar help tells me that in order to complete registration for this function to open the Create Recovery Media application and "follow instructions". I am lost, there is nothing there about the Password Reset Service. I have already created the Recovery disks and even a Rescue Media disk.
I have found that in the Client Security Solution application, under the advanced tab there is a "Setup Hardware Password Reset" function but it is greyed out!
Since this function is available for selection in Bios shouldn't I be able to use it?
I am using the Windows logon password recovery function in Client Security with no problems.
Any ideas??
Thank you!!
Installed BIOS: 7LETC5WW (2.25-1.08) Release Date: 2009/01/08
Client Security Solution version: 8.20.0023.00
PS. I don't want to circumvent any passwords, I just want to activate the Hardware Password Recovery function in case I ever need it.

Go to Solution.

UPDATE:
In case anyone cares, I was finally able to figure out how to activate the Hardware Password Reset feature in my T61. Here is the solution, at least in my case:
1)Found the file in Program Files->Lenovo->Client Security Solution->HwPwReset.exe
2)Ran the file and followed the instructions
3)A "Secure Environment" was created in the hardrive and the laptop restarted
4)The laptop booted into the Secure Environment where I was asked to establish 3 security questions and answers.
5)The laptop restarted and the status of the Pasword Reset function in BIOS changed to Registered.
Now if I ever forget the Power-on or Hardrive passwords all I have to do is press F12 on boot-up, select Password Reset option, answer my security questions and voila, passwords are reset or removed. Very nice!
BTW, I called Lenovo technical support twice and after talking to 3 "techs" and one supervisor they had no clue on how to do this. Go figure!

Bios password reset

I have been using my laptop Compaq Presario V3000 with service tag v3070TU from last eight years. This laptop is also being used by my kids for playing games. As we know that there are two types of BIOS password i.e. "Supervisor" and "User". I had kept both passwords separate. For myself, I kept Supervisor password. Kids also kept their own User password. I was in view that I can change ”User" password whenever I wish as I was using Supervisor password. The time went by. The kids changed "User" password as they wished. Later I purchased Desktop for them. Again the time passed and for opening the laptop I always used my own ”Supervisor" password. No issues. The kids forgot their own password. But I was assured that I will change it whenever required. So few days back I thought to change the password kept by kids. To my surprise, I was unable to change the password. I search many forums and tried to reset the password as per procedure laid by HP. but all efforts failed. Then I thought may be upgrading BIOS will reset the password to default. So
I upgraded the Bios to the latest one F.25 (phoenix BIOS) to my surprise, my laptop still wanted the password to boot. Though I could do all the office work on my laptop but still I always felt handicap due to password issue.
Yesterday I thought why not to clear my “Supervisor” password so that it may not ask any password during boot. So I entered BIOS and navigated to supervisor password, pressed enter twice, and got alert that password is removed. Saved, rebooted and It again asked for password. Now my Supervisor password is also not working, even pressing “Enter” during boot is not working. Now I cannot enter in setup also.
Please help.
