Hello, I have an issue with HP 255 G7 laptop.
I can't access the BIOS to enable PXE boot It's asking for an unknown password specifically the Administrator password.
After several attempts, it gives me this code: 77501254 and 961014931 for 2nd laptop
What is the password to access the BIOS?
Thank you.

BIOS (and Power) passwords are encoded into the firmware of the motherboard and we have no access of any kind to that. Changing such a password requires completely replacing the motherboard with a new one that does NOT have a password encoded into the firmware -- and that usually costs a LOT more than simply replacing the computer.
I wish we could help you -- but we're not allowed to, since we have no way from here to verify ownership of any computer.
