Reset Power On Password

[JoeMolick]

I have an HP Envy 15 Notebook PC

Serial # [Personal Information Removed]

Product: E1P05AV

Model # 15t-j100

How do we reset a Power on Password?

We enter an incorrect password three times and we do NOT get any codes, it just does a restart. If we do this again, it will go into recovery mode with Advance Options. But, does not allow us to reset the Power on Password.

Please enter the incorrect password 3 times and reply to this post with an error code or the halt code, so I can reset the password for you

Or

Please click on the below shown link to reset the password by yourself using the error code or the halt code

As I stated, it does NOT provide any error codes, it just will reboot in to recovery mode.

Hi,

Shutdown the notebook, remove the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.

Hold down the power button for 30 seconds, then remove the HDD - Page 56 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out for the moment ), start the notebook and see if you now get a hash generated after hitting enter 3 times.
