Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi, I have an old HP ProBook 6460b notebook and my HDD died, I've bought an SSD installed it but I can't install an OS as I can't boot from a flash drive as I cannot access the bios as it's asking for a password, is there any way I can reset the bios password please? Thanks in advance!

BIOS passwords are encoded into the firmware of the motherboard and we have no access of any kind to that.


I wish we could help you -- but we can't, since we have no way from here to verify ownership of any computer.


Therefor, according to the Community's Rules of Participation:


4d. No posts shall include instructions/directions intended to bypass or subvert security mechanisms such as lock screens, BitLockers, BIOS lock, passwords, fingerprint/biometry scanners, PINs nor any other safety measures.


Sorry -- we are unable to assist you with that.
