Remove password on hp probook 4530s

Hi, I have an Hp ProBook 4530s and I put a password on it through the hp protect tools. I do not want the password anymore, I do know it. But I do not want to remove my battery or any internal parts of the laptop. How can I remove it, also if you do know, can you please tell me step by step how to remove it, I am not an electronic wizard and dont know much about the laptop I have only had it a couple of weeks. Thank you so much.

This is a tough one to go with but luckily, I found a solution for you. Check this thread from HP. Good luck.

    If it is a BIOS or power-on password you have a few options???
    There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks and most business class laptops.
    You will need to contact HP.

    I have a master external USB HDD with his programs that I have removed hundreds of passwords with Mazzif's help.
    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.

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

  • Cannot install driver vga 7470m for probook 4530s

    Hello, I come from Vietnam, I have the following problem, my laptop does not install ProBook 4530s is vga amd 7470m, when I set the laptop screen was dark again, I have to turn off or remove vga go away, the new used to be normal, but only usable only vga HD300. I have tried several times to install win, vga latest update, install all drivers but still above. ask how to fix how, I would like to thank 

    Hello @pio4791 ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, here is a link to your drivers from your product page for Windows 7. I would uninstall the Video drivers from your device manager.  All of the drivers and software.  Restart the notebook and check the device manager. If the video drivers are installed not further action is needed.
    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 that need updating.
    Thanks.

  • Hp probook 4530s sound problem

    Hello, I'm new in this forum because I didn't had this kind of problem before. I have an Hp probook 4530s I5 with 64bit windows 7 pro I read every post about this problem but nothing solved my problem. I dont have a sound on my laptop, sometimes it comes but only few seconds than it dissapears, but when I lsiten to something sound doesnt come from speakers but in the corner of speakers options it shows that sound is coming. nothing helped only one thing is helping: when I plug headphone in my laptop sound comes out of speakers and headphones too, but it's difficult to be like this I can't use my headphones. I tried everything and please help me it happend when I updated bios but my friends have this same problem with this laptop

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59291.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52001-52500/sp52145.exe
    When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' ( or Speakers/HP ) once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • HP Probook 4530s Bluetooth drivers problem

    Hi, I need some help. I want to know if my laptop is equipped with a bluetooth adaptor.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and these are the specifications:
    HP ProBook 4530s Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) 
    Serial Number:   {Private Information Removed}
    Product Number:   A7K05UT
    On device manager there is no Bluetooth Radio or any other bluetooth device.
    I wanted to know if this is happening due to a driver problem cause I recently installed all available network drivers for my laptop, and i wondered if something is malfunctioning (which it's not probable because my wireless adaptador is working fine).
    Thanks! 

    Hi,
    The following link shows its specs:
       http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/321957-321957-64295-3955552-3955552-5060880-5215017.ht...
    No, it does not have BT. Quick and cheapr option is to buy an USB-BT device.

  • External DVD caddy for probook 4530

    I have a probook 4530.  I am adding an SSD drive and replacing my DVD device with the internal HDD as a secondary drive.  What I would like to do is get an external DVD caddy and place the removed DVD device in the caddy and connect via USB.  Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Well, buy a new external DVD/CD writer now for under $50 is much better than recycle the old one. Anyway, if you wish, you can try something like this:
       http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/360317300092?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes
    For my testing, I bought an external burn-everything Pioneer for $119. It's very slim.

  • Probook 4530s ATI radeon can't install

    hi all
    after install ati radeon .... black screen appear
    and then go to bios to disable switchable to can start windows . with intel Hd3000
    i download all amd installation for HP site and Amd Site
    probook 4530s core i5
    windows 7 64 bit
    please help me

    Thank you BOSS for your quick response:
    I took your advice and reinstalled my OS, but unfortunately stand-by mode is still causing errors. The only difference is that I managed to install the ATI driver normally and no BSOD, so far.
    I'm not sure what is causing this, but my humble guess would be that my ATI card is an OEM card which is pulled form a working dell computer and these cards sometimes do not integrate well when installed on non dell motherboards... However, I need to find out that that is absolutely the case before I remove my vid. card from my system
    There is a memory dump file that contains the info about this error but I can't decipher...I'm not a computer savvy, but you or someone here my find the root of the problem in that file. If that will be of any help to provide you with I will, next time.
    Thanks in advance!!!

Please help me if you have any information on how to fix thisbacause i was doing my reasearch which i wanted next week Monday. Regards Marvellous Chirunga

    Dear Customer, Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum It looks like you are not able to Power ON the Notebook and wanted to fix the issue Please perform below shown steps to find out if this is a software or hardware issue:1. Remove all Peripherals and Cables, Disconnect them and try to Power ON the Unit 2. Check for LED Light Status and ensure Power Button spring action is normal 3. Swap with a known good Power Cord and Power Adapter 4. Incase no Adapter is available, Check if the Power Adapter is slightly warmNote: This will give us a hint that the Power Adapter might be fine 5. Do you know if the Notebook was in Battery or Power Adapter Mode when you used it for the last timeNote: Ensure there is no liquid spillage or Power Outage 6. Check if the AC Adapter Port is loose/broken Note: If the Notebook doesn't Power ON even with a known good Power Adapter this confirms the Hardware fault with System Board or the DC Power Circuit  Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again  **Click the KUDOS star on left to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem. Thank You,K N R KAlthough I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

  • ProBook 4530s metal casing has leakage current while charging

    Hi,
    Recently purchased probook 4530s works fine. Only when it has to be connected to the charger the metal casing gives a very uneasy fealing of leakage current and is very annoying. Have searched the internet and found this problem common in HP models with metal body. Big name is going to get a big hit with this annoyance. Kindly help if anyone has found a specific solution or HP has provided with a solution to anyone.

    try this:-
    Perform a Dry Boot on the unit.
    a. Shutdown the computer.
    b. Disconnect the AC adapter, any externally connected device like External Hard Disk, External CD Drive , Pen Drive and remove the battery. Make sure there is no disc in the drive either.
    c. Press the power button down for about 45-60 seconds.
    d. Reconnect the AC adapter and not the battery.
    e. Restart the computer
    PURPOSE: This will discharge any residual charge present in the unit completely

  • Control (Ctrl) and Function (Fn) keys are swapped on ProBook 4530s. How can I restore this?

    I have HP ProBook 4530s which was working as expected i.e. Ctrl keys and Fn Keys were working correctly. Now somehow these two keys are swapped and I want to restore them so that Ctrl Key work as Ctrl key. Please note that I am running Windows 7 on this machine. How can restore this?

    Just a quick update.  I had the same issue with CTRL and FN swapped on my ProBook 6560b. I tried many possible solutions:CTRL + FN+ ALTUninstall keyboard deviceDisable keyboard deviceLook for setting in BIOS to swap the keys. This solution - remove the power supply and battery - solved my issue. There is clearly a wierd bug in many of these HP laptops.

  • HP Probook 4530s - internal mic does not work when on messenger or skype, webcam does?

    HI there,
    I have an HP Probook 4530s. When I go on MSN messenger or Skpye, the internal webcam works, but the internal mic doesn't. I can't hear them speaking either. However when I tested my internal mic outside of these two places it works perfectly fine - problems?!

    I go this issue very recently. What I did to solve the problem was probably mentioned before somwehre over the web.
    First of all, I degraded Skype from the latest version to skype 6.1.0.129. Then I went in Skype - Tools - Option - Advanced Settings - Automatic Updates and click "Turn off automatic updates" and Save. I closed (Quit Skype) Skype then.  
    I clicked on Start (in toolbar) and in search area typed Device Meneger. Then in Sound Video and game controlers, highlite and right click on mouse on IDT High Definition Audio Codec and press Unistall. This will unistall IDT drivers from the system. You must restart your computer.
    Once you come back after reboot, you must go again to the Sound Video and game controlers and remove the rest part of your driver. After reboot go Sound Video and game controlers and click "Scan for hardware changes" then system find your IDT Sound Card again. Please install the latest driver (6.10.6367.0) and reboot. After reboot you should have mic working while on Skype. 

  • How to recover BIOS Admin password on HP ProBook 4740s?

    Excuse me, do you know how to recover BIOS Admin password on HP ProBook 4740s?
    My support period already over. But I don't no BIOS Admin password on my notebook...
    Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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.
