Product: Hp laptop 15-bw0xx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I set up a power on password in the bios, and I still know it. But I am going to sell the laptop and I was wondering how to disable this password.

Hi:

 

I believe that you can clear the P/W like this.

 

Use the BIOS P/W you created to enter the BIOS

 

Disable all passwords that are enabled

 

If asked for current password - type the unlock code

 

For new password, just press ENTER key


Repeat the same for verify password column.

 

Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes.
