Product: Elitebook 8440 p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Upgraded to WIN10 64bit.
Problems:
1- I need to upgrade the BIOS but, even following the instructions, the system reboots without updating the BIOS
I thought it was because I have the fingerprint swipe at boot, but
2- I can't remove it (not even from Bios menu) because I set it with HP protect tools that now can't be opened with win 10 (incompatible).
How can I remove the password (fingerprint validation) at boot, so that I can try again with the BIOS update?
If I uninstall HP protect tool, will I be able to switch on my pc (will it still require the fingerprint or it will be helplessly stuck) ?
