Welcome CDroberts.

 

After three failed passwords do you receive a halt code???

 

Post that code.

 

Hp 2000's have INSYDE H20 BIOS.

 

If you enter the master password at the first screen it removes any password.

 

The next time you power-on it should not ask for a password again.

 

Just tested it on a HP 2000.
