Do you REALLY feel the need to set a BIOS password?

 

We get posts EVERY DAY from folks who have done this, failed to Write It Down, and then want us to Reset it for them -- which we can NOT do. HP will do it, but they charge you a serious amount to replace the motherboard in the laptop, which means you also have to pay to send the laptop to them and be without it while the replacement is being done.

 

To me, setting a BIOS password is not worth this cost and inconvenience.

Your original post did say you specifically wanted to select the BIOS Admin password option.

 

Sorry, but I do not know why the entries are greyed out -- so I can not help you with the other BIOS stuff.
