Insert clean USB flash drive.

Then run USB Image tool.

Choose the flash drive then click on RESTORE.

After restore remove flash drive.

Insert  flash drive into locked laptop and boot.”If HDD is installed remove before booting.”

At C:\OUTPUT   type CD..   “Then hit enter”

Then type HPBR    “Then hit enter”

First thing is to save your settings.

Select #3 re-program.

Press “S” to save system information.

Then type HPBR    “Then hit enter”

Select   “FIRST RUN”

Then select model.

After reboot repeat same above but this  time  SELECT “SECOND RUN”

Some instructions here.

I am sorry to here this and it is my fault.

That is an old step by step and one option was left out.

First thing is to save your settings.

Select #3 re-program.

Press “S” to save system information.

Type HPBR and hit enter.

Did you use a HDD or USB flash drive to remove the password???

Do you live in the US or Canada???

I live in Ghana.

On system info, i have a dxdiag txt file to use as reference.
