Product: HP ProBook 650 G3 Base Model Notebook PC

Hi there. I have a Probook 650 G3 here which after a Windows 10 update (Probable included firmware update that I should have disabled but was in a hurry and missed it), the BIOS seems to have become password protected. It now asks for a password on attempting to enter the BIOS. this was not the case beforehand.

Is there any way that I can get this unlocked as I need BIOS access to switch between UEFI and legacy on a regular basis.

I understand that an "smc.bin" file is needed.

 

Thank you in advance.
