Remove bios password on HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-f215dx (ENERGY STAR)

[Dragon_902]

When I either shut down or restart either way if it's for bios or to get into windows I have to enter a password so I know it's the bios password.

I know the password but, I want to know how to to remove it permenantly.

Can anybody tell me how if there is a way.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can remove the requirement for a power on password as follows.

Shut down the notebook. 

Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up menu and then select f10 to enter the Bios menu.  Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security tab and hit enter.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight power on password and hit enter.  Enter the current password and then for the new password, just leave this blank and hit enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select to save the new settings and hit enter.
