Hi Everone,

 

I bought another Hp laptop at the local pawn shop (Pawn Plus - have receipt) super cheap as it had a corrupted Windows 8.1 O.S. and would not boot up.  I repaired Windows and now the laptop looks and works great!  I noticed it had a BIOS password and I can't get passed it.  After three tries it locks up and displays: 56188182.  I tried removing the CMOS battery but the BIOS password will not reset to default.  Can anyone out there help?  It is such a nice working laptop but would like to also get access to the BIOS.

 

Thanks,

BY

Thanks Dean.

 

That was almost too easy.  Sure is a lot easier than taking apart a perfectly good laptop to remove the CMOS battery - but I learned a lot from the experience.

 

Again, thanks so much for your help.
