Hi guys,

 

I need your help. I do not know the default BIOS password fr this laptop. I am a third owner of this one. Te original owner says he did not set up a BIOS password before. Do anyone here knows what the default BIOS password for this? I need to update the BIOS application as required by HP as of January 2020. Any help you can extend will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yours,

Hi, unfortunately, there is nothing the Forum members 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.

HP issued this document recently...
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06368824

Also the forum rules were amended on 1 March 2019, which no longer allow HP to help with removing passwords.

Rule 4.d...

P.S.

You might wish to get in contact with the HP support via phone and they might offer you to pay for a replacement mainboard.
