[baytt]

I can not clear bios password. On startup i have " Enter power-on password"!

I try these solutions i found on this link https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/HELP-BIOS-PassWord-Removal-on-HP-Compaq-6000-P... but  the password is stilll here.

Need your help.

Hi:

If removing the green clear password jumper did not clear the BIOS P/W then someone set the Stringent Security setting in the BIOS which does not allow removing the green clear P/W jumper from clearing the P/W.

You will need a new motherboard...that is your only option.

Thanks Friend.

If there is no other solution even change mothercard i declare accept solution.😞

Thanks again

You're very welcome.

Sorry that someone enabled stringent security.

Starting with the dc7900 and newer models 8000 Elite, 6000 Pro, 8100 Elite, 8200 Elite, 6200 Pro, etc., the stringent security BIOS setting option was added.

It's me that change this password and forgot it.

Thanks

If i remenber the password can i access my desktop again or there is no chance?

You must have set the stringent security option then.

Yes, if you can remember your BIOS P/W, you will be able to get in.

If you can get in, then I recommend you don't bother setting a BIOS P/W, or at least disable the Stringent Security Setting.

I 'll try all my passwords and i hope to find the right one .

Thank you very match for help.

I hope you can find the right password to get into your PC.
