Hi,

At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.

HI,

          Use the below code to reset

33749995

You can:

1. Use the unlock code you generated to enter the BIOS

2. Disable all passwords that are enabled in the BIOS's security menu.

3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code

4. For new password, just press ENTER key

5. Repeat the same for verify password column.

Ok it got past the administrator password or power on password but the code that the code generator gave did not work?!.

Hi,

Can you explain this a little further - if the code did not work, how did you bypass the power on password?

That code you gave me worked but when i went to the like you supplied on the hp web page i entered my serial number but the code it gave me did not get my through the log on password . Or was that not the BIOS password am i supposed to hit the f10 or esc key to go to the BIOS password to be entered

Ok well im now having trouble with my log in password i havent used this thing in 3 years and cant remeber my log on password how do i reset it or get past it?

Hi,

First of all, the code I supplied will have removed the requirement for a power on password entirely - there's no need to enter the bios or do anything else.

Regarding your log-on password, there is a general policy on the Forum not to provide methods to bypass Windows log-on passwords, however a local computer shop would be able to do this for you.

Another option, if all your personal data etc is backed-up, would be to reset the notebook to its 'Factory Condition' and then set it up from the beginning – if you don’t have your Recovery Media, the notebook will have shipped with a Recovery Partition which can be accessed at boot - ie shutdown the notebook, then start tapping away at f11 as soon as you power on.

A full guide on this can be found on the following link.
