I recently bought a used EliteBook 2570p. Turns out it has a bois admin password and I can't change bios setting, it boots to OS just fine. I have read that there is an SMC.bin file that can be made for my specific computer to unlock the bios password. If i could get some help in this area in what you need and what i need to do, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You'll need to Contact HP Business support - they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.
