I am trying to clear the CMOS bios password for this Probook 650 machine to install Ubuntu on it. I see a number of references on the internet to an SMC.bin file to use to go clear the bios password from the security chip. This machine was purchased under an employee scheme from my current employer. I am happy to supply the serial nr and UUID should they be required.
