Sorry, but no one here can help you with this.

 

We are not permitted to assist in the removal or reset of any passwords.

 

BIOS passwords are usually encrypted into the firmware of the motherboard, so removing the CMOS battery will generally not accomplish anything.  Since the BIOS chips are soldered to the motherboard, they are not replaceable.


HP does not do BIOS password resets on existing motherboards but instead, insists on replacing the entire motherboard.
