Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I lost my password for bios on Probook x360 440 g1, Searching in google says: you mast get SMC.bin from HP for you laptop.

I have UUID, Serial, shipping documents and other.

 

How can I get SMC.bin? Or may be other ways to reset bios password?

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help you, since HP will no longer supply the required SMC.bin file that is used to clear the BIOS password.

 

That was the only way it could be done. 

 

Removing the CMOS battery will not clear the P/W.
