BIOS enabled Power on Password unknown

[ParadoxInc]

Hello to the HP community! 

I've noticed some black magic assistance being provided with unknown Power on Password master passwords, and after trying a bunch of known passwords for the ex employee, a BIOS reinstall, Cmos reset and general curses, I conceded defeat and would like to request assistance please. 

The system disabled code is: [i 51400001]

Unsure whether the I is relevant - and this number obviously changed when I flashed the latest BIOS  so hopefully I didn't do mofd harm than good trying to go it myself!

Thanks in advance guys!

Thankyou very kindly for your prompt, and more importantly correct reply David!

May i ask - Is there some formula/conversion that is in the public domain that would enable myself (acd countless others) to be able to obtain this code ourselves without having to raise a forum post? Obviously the one's from "bios-pw" website (unsure of external link/website posting rules here), are incorrect.

I'll likely never need it again - But if the information is available, and i missed it, could you possibly point me to it?

Thanks heaps again,

Paradox
