1) HP Pavilion Entertainment PC FX280AV Laptop

2) Windows 7

3) Enter Admin Password or Power On password.

4) No changes, just update as usual.

5) I haven't access the BIOS in quiet a while.  Can this be done by a hacker or virus?  Someone could have have added this feature that was here I just find it unlikely they would do this. 

The System Disable number is [ 54262991 ]

Hi

 

Unplug the PC and open the case. remove the RTC battery (silver and the size of a coin), press the power button. Look near the battery for a jumper that is labelled clr cmos or something close. remove the jumper and then put it back in the same position.

Please post your results.

I was unable to find any information on the motherboard but it is probably like virtually every other motherboard.

 


Let us know how it goes!

I didn't feel comfortable taking apart my laptop to get to the mother board. 

 

I researched some more and there is a web site that I went to that gave me a program where I key the disable code and I get the master password.  That worked and was easier. 

 

I can't seem to find the website now.  The exe was in pwgen-insyde.zip.  I got in just fine.

 

I ran the exe, entered my System Disabled key or hash, pressed enter.  It displayed another 8 digit number that I typed in on a usb keyboard to the laptop and I gained access.  Yahoo!

Whoever you are, I thank you. Just had this exact same issue occur about a week ago on an HP laptop, and the fix you found worked perfectly.
