Welcome Dany.

 

This should help you understand EliteBook and ProBook passwords.

Your chip would be.

Dear Reo,

 

Thanks for your input.

 

I do suppose there is no other way than buying this chip ?  

 

Then how and where to install this ?

 

Thanks

When you buy the chip they send you a picture of the chips location.

 

The picture I posted is the one they sent me.

 

It was easy because of the chip location.

 

Took me 30 minutes.

I noticed that you posted your UUID. "universally unique identifier"

 

I know that sometimes HP Support can provide you a flash drive to unlock the laptop using your UUID.

 

Try.

There is no master password or password generator for EliteBooks or ProBooks.

 

You must contact HP Support.

OR

 

Replace the BIOS chip.
