Hello,

i just bought (its legally bought) a HP 8470p, and i wanted to look into bios configuration, but i don'thave a bios administrator password.

 

I tried to enter any password, but the new passowrd didn't appeared on screen. I read some topics and users told about this.

 

I can also give you a UUID serial.

Hi:

 

Contact HP, and they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at bootup to reset the password.

When talking to the HP rep ask them to escalate your service request.
