Bios Password Reset : HP Beats, model 15-393NR

[captainsparkle]

Hello, 

I lost the password for my laptop's bios, and need help resetting it. 

I have tried getting the reset code from https://bios-pw.org/ but it did not work

My halt-code was 6B72BC07

Model: HP Beats Special Edition laptop, 15-939NR. 

if there is a master password for this code, it would be super helpful!

Also, does the master code change with every reboot? I tried the reset codes multiple times, and get a different halt-code each time. 

Thanks!

Hi,

Your notebook is producing a hexadecimal halt code which is stored in ram as a 'one off' and will be re-calculated after a reboot.  This indicates you have one of the later AMI bios’ and unfortunately none of the current code generators will work for this - there are a couple of options.

1.  Contact HP Support starting on the link below.

2.  Alternatively, you may still be able to remove a power on password ( this will depend on the bios revision ) from the machine by removing the rtc cell ( leave the power board connected ) then hold down the power button for 60 seconds and leave the machine in this state for a couple of hours before re-inserting the rtc and re-assembling.

the method of pulling our the rtc battery, holding the power button for a minute, and leaving the battery out  for a few hours (I waited overnight, to be sure) reset the bios. Thanks!
