Product: probook 4520s
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi i brought a second hand probook 4520s in 2012  and have never need to go into the bios but it was running slow so i upgraded a few parts with no problem but i now need to enter the bios.

I have tried to get into it but it has a password which i dont have as i brought it second hand and the shop i got it from is no longer there, is there a way to get the bios password reset,

it has an administration password and 2 HP/family passwords to choose from but i cant get into any of them if i enter the password wrong 3 times it comes up with computer locked and no codes or anything then resets.

 

Thanks
