Product: G72-b20SA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Have just picked up a notebook (G72) from a house clearance sale.  On power up the screen displays message 'enter a power up or admin password'.  How do i do a 'forced' factory reset from power up, want to wipe the system.

Hi:

 

Enter any BIOS P/W 3 times and the PC will generate an 8 digit system disabled code.

 

Enter the code you get in the box at the link below, and the website will generate an unlock passcode for you to enter.
