Hi @Phosno,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop (model dy2131wm) is showing the message: "Enter Administrator Password or Power-On Password", this means the BIOS is locked with a password. This is a security feature and can only be bypassed by a repair.
1. Try Known Passwords
If you or someone else set the password, try any passwords you may have used.
❌ 2. Do NOT Attempt to Bypass
HP does not support or allow bypassing BIOS passwords through unofficial means. Attempting to do so may:
- Lock the system permanently
- Void your warranty
- Trigger a security lockout
Please share the image of the Screen so I can try to check the exact issue and help you better.
I hope this helps.
Take care, and have an amazing day!
