Remove RTC battery - only reset the clock but not the BIOS password

Contact HP support - The waranty for the HP 2230s in problem had expired.

Cand agree with U Raymond.

RTC does help with bios pswd but mostly in older bioses versions - those entirely blue. In newest like Efi Bioses when U can pick options using touchpad for example RCT helps really rare.

Still HP does have tools to reset password if bios release is not older than i mentioned before

I have tried serval times to remove the battery for over a week. Then I reinsert the battery and power on the laptop, it response with "500 - BIOS recovery" and prompt me to enter the password.

it does the same think for me.

Yes, Raymond, like i've said RTC is not a 100% sollution but a option. Not always works.

U're right about and i agree but its always worth to check - obviously if it does not need to system board remove from laptop cause it damage warranty.

For some user this may be difficult to do but if you have the time it can be done.

I have used this forum for years and have cleared 100's of passwords with there help.

I am also a moderator for the hardware section.
