I previously set a BIOS administrator password, but after a BIOS upgrade, I cannot remove the power-on password. I can only remove the administrator password, and using HP SpareKey to reset the password .But it can only resets the administrator password, not the power-on password. I tried resetting the bios but it didn't work. Now, I can only start the computer by entering the administrator password. How can I remove the power-on password?
Thanks.
