Spare Key needed to reboot BIOS

[ksmors]

Hello guys!

Can't seem to bypass the BIOS, it keeps locking me out asking me to reboot the system, regardless following so many steps online. This is a spare notebook for emergencies. The BIOS Admin and User ID passwords do not seem to work at all, and not only is this notebook but a HP Pavillion dv6500 notebook.

Please help! If anyone has a link so I can download to a USB in order to reboot both BIOS will be extremely appreciated. Blessings 🙂

We're not allowed to assist you in bypassing security measures, and no one else here is allowed to do this, either.

BIOS and power-on passwords are contained in the firmware that is present inside the BIOS chips -- which are soldered to the motherboard and thus, are not replaceable. So, you can't just buy a replacement chip and swap them. Also, neither your nor HP can reset the BIOS password on the current motherboard. Thus, replacement of the motherboard is required with one that has a BIOS chip that does not have a password in the firmware. This is very expensive to do and can often cost more than simply replacing the PC

If you are not prepared to spend the money to get HP to replace the motherboard, you would have to take the PC to a local repair facility to see if they can do anything for you -- but we can not assist in that in any way.
