Hi, i have a really critical problem, and i don't think its easy to fix because i messed it up badly. im going go explain this as a story because i feel like thatst the easiest way for me. 

 

All of this took place back in 2016 and i want that computer back!

 

It all started with me doing a factory reset on my computer and i was in the middle of the windows installation and it kind of froze at 45% windows and 77% programs and drives i think, i i can't remember but however the installation wasn't done, and because it froze and it was frozen like that for like 10 minutes, stupid ass me ( chill because this is the mildest part of all ) decided to shut down and reboot the computer, and i didn't have a backup of anything ( i backup everything now to the clouds ) so i got sent to hp recovery and intried to restore it with every single setting possible but none worked and remember now that I don't have anything backed up, and I don't have any bootable either, no cd,disk or usb. So after several attempts to recover the computer, i got pissed on myself and decided that it was fun to do a bios password. Now, i don't remember what the password is and I want to use the computer so i have a couple questions.

 

Is it possible to remove or bypass the bios password ( i think there's a site that allowes you to log in using the code shown after several wrong attempts ) 

 

Is it possible if you can access the system using the option above to change or disable your bios password even if you don't remember it?

 

What files do i need to completely restore the computer back to stock ( I don't care about personal files, wipe em, I don't care as long as this pc works again ) 

 

How do i restore it ( i have another pc that is exteextre slow tho, it bought back in 2008 and is running Windows 7 and is only able to create a bootable USB. But i must use my Android phone as the usb because i can't find a usb device for the moment. My Android is rooted and i have a app called drivedroid that's able to create a bootable USB file but you use your Android as the usb. )

 

I prefer if you could be with me when i do it. I haven't booted up the computer since maybe the very beginning of 2017 but its probably way back in 2016. And the computer has had a dead battery since then. I haven't booted up the computer at all while writing this so i have ko idea if that cmos battery even remember what password i have that i don't remember. 

 

I would prefer a complete guide in either text or provided links that all are written in order.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, @Agatgamez

 

You may be able to unlock the BIOS password if your notebook generates an 8 digit system disabled code.

 

There may be a small letter 'i' in front of the 8 digit code.

 

So, enter any BIOS password 3 times and the notebook should generate that code.

 

Post the 8 digit code including the 'i' if it has one.

 

You have to use a windows pc to create the installation media.

Hi:

 

That should work just fine as long as the hard drive is good.
