Fogot bios password in HP 1101

[STEMerGuru]

I have a HP 1101 netbook.  I can't, for the life of me, remember the BIOS password on the device.  Any ideas of how access the netbook without too much effort.  Thanks.

Hi,

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

Please type the incorrect password 3 times to get an error code/number.

Once you get an Error Code/Number please reply to this post with the same information, So I can share the

Password information with you to unlock your Notebook

Steps to be followed:

1. Use the unlock code posted above to enter the BIOS

2. Disable all passwords that are enabled

3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code

4. For new password, just press ENTER key

5. Repeat the same for verify password column.

6. Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes.

Troubleshooting:

Incase if the Password doesn’t work please try a Hard Reset as follows.

1. Shut down the notebook

2. Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery

3. Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds

4. Plug in the Power/AC Adapter (Leave the battery out for the moment) & Start the Notebook

5. If you now see a password box, Please type the same Password I shared before and press enter
