Bios Power on Password / Administrator Password

[Thinkspeed]

I am want to make change the settings to make my ssd the main boot drive and to also run a Virtual machine on my laptop and need to turn on virtualisation in the bios to be able to run 64-bit versions of the OS.

However, when trying to access the bios I am told to enter an admin password which I don't know.

system disabled code i 54781600  I tried loads of stuff off the internet, but had no luck.

From what I've seen 15-cb0xx could be the same as 15-cb060sa

can someone please help me...thanks in advance

I know we used to provide Disabled Bypass Codes -- but we're not allowed to do that anymore.

I wish we could help you, but sorry, due to changes in Community policy, we are no longer able to provide any assistance with password reset or recovery issues.

Also please note that now, to resolve a forgotten BIOS or power-on password issue, since that password is embedded into the firmware of the system board, to replace that, a system board replacement is required -- and additional customer costs apply - which you have to pay for. HP has issued this post about BIOS passwords: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06368824.

In addition, according to the Community's Rules of Participation:

For assistance NOW, you have to contact your regional HP Customer Support location directly as they will confirm ownership of the PC before providing any assistance -- something we are not able to do from here.

It's ok. I have found a work around the bios admin password, and have been able to change it.

After analysing different HP bios' and seeing how the passwords worked. I was able to find a glitch that enabled me to enter into the bios. 

Thank you for your response and time, however I will not be able to accept your response as the solution.
