Contact HP.

Or download these files.

Insert clean USB flash drive.

Then run USB Image tool.

Choose the flash drive then click on RESTORE.

After restore remove flash drive.

Insert flash drive into locked laptop and boot.”If HDD is installed remove before booting.”

At C:\OUTPUT   type CD..   “Then hit enter”

Type HPBR   “Then hit enter”

First thing is to save your settings.

Select #3 re-program.

Press “S” to save system information.

Type HPBR and hit enter.

Since your model is not listed select “SHOTGUN.”

After reboot repeat “SHOTGUN” a second time.

Some instructions here.

Your model has been verified using the SHOTGUN method.

ProBook	EliteBook	ProBook Shotgun	EliteBook Shotgun	DID NOT WORK
2230s	2530p		2540p	4530s
2740p	2560p		8740w
4310s	2730p
4510s	6930p
6455b	8460p
6460b	8530w
6535b	8540w

6730b	8530p
6735b	8560p
	8560w

Make sure to save your SYSTEM INFO.

I think for that model you will need to restore it after you clear the password.

Thanks for your program. It really saved me !

I just bought a second hand  EliteBook 2540p that had a BIOS password but my vendor did not know it at all. I will now be able to reinstall it with Linux.
