Enter Administrator Password or Power On Password---Forgotten Password

[JigsawJoJo]

I recieved a Folio 13 laptop from my friend as payment for some other PC issues I helped him with. He has forgotten the password he put on the BIOS. When I input an incorrect password 3 times the screen changes to a blue box with "System Disabled" [50513079].

I have tried using https://bios-pw.org/.  It gives the code [45471079], which does not work.

Sadly that did not work. After inputting that code it reads "Invalid Password." The only option is [OK].

Some more product info (also adding to initial post).

Hi,

Double check the halt code ( 50513079 ) is definetely correct and that it is prefixed with a 'i' not a 'I'.

I am positive it is correct.

Hi,

As the hash doesn't have a prefix, 45471079 is the correct unlock code - try entering this code via an external usb keyboard.

Thank you. That worked.

I've tried several times with the built-in keyboard to no success. Why did the external USB keyboard work when the built-in keyboard failed?
