Hi,

 

I am trying to downgrade the bios version using the Hp firmware update and recovery tool but I get the message that

"BIOS update did not proceed because the system administraitor has locked the BIOS version" . In the boot menu the lock bios option is unchecked and i have tried checking it and uncheking it again but did not solve.

 

Device: Elitebook 840 G5

Current Bios version:  01.28.00
Target Bios version: 01.06.00
