I have a HP 2140 Mini with the Power On Password screen. There is no code after the third attempt. I use the password generators from Dogbert but it doesn't work.
Any hints?

power on password right after HP logo needed for nc8230. Entering 3 passwords does not generate any error numbers etc... it requires me power off and then on again. CMOS battery and all power removed does not resolve.

I really appreciate your help here. OK, I took the cmos battery out, disconnected power and battery, let it sit for 2 hours, pressed power on switch maybe to discharge any power left in the system. Plugged ac power in (cmos bat not connected) powered up and I still get the power on password with pic for a key, you make three entries and then you get the big asterick symbol, no code, and then you cannot do anything else until you power it off and then when you power back on and your back to the power on password request. I then replaced the TPM module with another one from a system with no power on password requirment. No luck.
