For those who have been told it's not possible to do a password reset on the 2560p Elitebook you've been lied to.  After going through round after round with HP support being told ultimately I would have to replace the system board at my companies cost I was determined to find a resolution.   Indeed, I left very negative feedback on the HP survey form for the support request, a couple days later someone from retention called me back to escalate the issue further.   I can confirm there is a work around to get the bios administrator password reset.   It requires your UUID and a unique SMC.bin file generated by HP tier 2 support to allow the user to enter the bios. 

 

Here are the steps from the email I recieved from HP:

 

                   This SMC.bin will work on these UUID’s: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 

                                                                         

               PLEASE MAKE SURE DATE AND TIME IS SET CORRECTLY BEFORE RUNNING THIS TOOL .Please make sure USB key is formatted to FAT 32

 

 

Please follow these steps to clear BIOS password:

 

Save the attached file with this e-mail to USB key as SMC.BIN and insert to the system (or save the file to the root of drive 😧 HP_TOOLS)

- Press "Windows Key + Arrow UP Key + Arrow Down Key" all keys at same time and turn on the system

- Release all keys and press F10 at HP logo to go to F10 setup to “Reset BIOS security to factory default”

 

 

SMC command failure reasons

Wrong UUID  is provided

Try different brand and smaller size USB key

USB key is not formatted FAT32

Make sure use USB 2.0 port not USB 3.0 port

BIOS , date and time should be current and updated.

Use hard drive method by using HP_TOOL partition ,if there is no HP_ tools partition,  can be created one by the following link below.

 

1.Once HP sends you the SMC.bin file format a USB thumb drive to fat32.  I used an 8GB Lexar drive without any issues.

2. Hold the Windows and Up/Down arrows down and press the power button.

3. Continuing to hold the windows / up / down arrows let the HP logo display for about 5 seconds then release and press f10.

4. After a few seconds the BIOS window will display and it will say "SMC command handled successfully"

5. Press the enter key and you will enter the BIOS.

6. Choose "Reset Bios security to factory default"

7. Say "Yes" to confirm changes

8. Save changes and exit the BIOS.

 

The first attempt I still had the admin password so I tried it again and it cleared.  The system is now back into production and all is well.   Good luck to those struggling with this.

Sledparty.

 

I standby my statement.

 

There is no master passwords or password generator for EliteBooks or ProBooks.

 

You must contact HP support.

 

OR

 

Replace the BIOS chip.
