Hi,
I forgot the administrator bios password.
System Disabled. [i 84462912]
The code changed to [i 53582465] after I tried to reinstall the bios by pressing the windows and B button.
I already tried the passwords mentioned on the website bios-pw.org. None of them worked.
Any other ideas would be great!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Unfortunately the hashing routine for any codes that start with a 'i' have changed, so at the moment your options are down to Contacting HP support.
or
You can still remove a power on password by removing the rtc cell, then holding down the power button for 60 seconds before re-inserting the rtc - if you require a service guide for your machine, post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
Regards,
DP-K

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. However, it didn't work. Probably because the x360 series was changed and BIOS settings are apparently powered by the main battery, not a separate CMOS/RTC battery.
The code changed to [i 53582465] after I tried to reinstall the bios by pressing the windows and B button.
Is there another way to reset the password?
Best,
