Hello
I have a HP EliteDesk 705 G2 that needs the BIOS Supervisor password removed.
I am aware of the jumper on motherboard, but on this particular device the jumper will not work becouse on the BIOS Setup i have Enabled Stringent security. Which means only SMC option left.
On HP Manual for this device it says clearly
"Resetting the password jumper CAUTION: Stringent security is a mode where there is no physical bypass of the password function. If enabled, removing the password jumper will be ignored. To enable this mode, change the security setting Clear Password Jumper in Password Policies to Ignore. If you lose or forget the password when in stringent security mode, the system can only be reset by System Management Command."
Is the support agent just messing around with me? Or what is this all about?

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
