HP Probook 455 G1 BIOS password recovery

[Szobi07]

Dear HP Pros,

on my above mentioned HP Probook 455 G1 [personal information removed] there is a BIOS password set, that I cannot recover (It came through public procurement password  could be set by anyone in the process) . Could You please help me with resetting it to default. 

I need it to check whether the "AMD Virtualization" option of the AMD CPU is enabled.

Thank You in advance!

Best regards:

Peter

For that model you will need to contact HP in your region and they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

When talking to the HP rep ask them to escalate your service request.

Just to note:

Do not try removing the RTC/BIOS battery.  It will not remove the password, but it will reset the clock - as SMC files are time coded, a large disparity between the system clock and the time encoded in the SMC will cause it to fail.
