Product: HP Pavilion p6-2100
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I want to set an SSD as my boot drive, but I can't get access to the BIOS. It says there is a 4-character password. If anyone knows what this is by default or how to clear CMOS jumpers, that'd be great, thanks.

@Mitchelskater, welcome to the forum.

 

When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.  There are several different models in this series.  I will be able to help you better with the exact model.
