Product: HP ProBook 6560b
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have an HP ProBook 6560b [I am not going to buy a new laptop] and when I got it I gave it a bios password for some reason, it has been a couple of years since I last used it and I want to remove the bios password as I have forgotten it. I found an old post here that had a link to a file I could use however the link has since expired and the post is 7 years old now. Does anyone have a file or know a way to reset the bios password on this old laptop, resetting the CMOS does not work.

HP no longer provides the files to do password resets.
