Hi,

At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.

Greetings @Killerpierce1, 

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

As I understand the computer is asking to "power on password" and you need assistance with the same,

You would have to contact HP phone support for a hardware service as the motherboard may require a tattoo/Bios Flash.

And I Hope you have a good day, Ahead.
