Please try this Password = 30694400
Steps to be followed:
- Use the unlock code posted above to enter the BIOS

- Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes.
Troubleshooting:
Incase if the Password doesn’t work please try a Hard Reset as follows.
- Shut down the notebook
- Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery
- Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds
- Plug in the Power/AC Adapter (Leave the battery out for the moment) & Start the Notebook
