Hi, there.

 

I got a second hand HP Compaq 6730b laptop, however, I did not have the BIOS admin password, it locked boot from DVD and USB, and locked the wireless hardware. I cannot change it. It only boot from hard drive. It has a Kubuntu operation system. How do I reset the BIOS password? and make WiFi unlock, and change boot order, etc.

 

Anyone help? Thanks in advance!
