HP EliteBook 840 G6 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi! I just bought a second hand Elitebook 840 G6 and the previous  owner haven't got the BIOS password.

The computer is in mint condition and I'm very fond of it.

So, I wonder if there is a way to change the backlight timeout for the keyboard with a HP software.

I know that Dell have a software (Enhancement Pack) that you can use to control the lightning time and I hope HP have as well.

Hi!

Thanks for the reply!

I know that I can change the backlight timeout in BIOS, but since I can't enter ther BIOS, I can't do that.

BIOS it password protected on my computer and the previous owner have't got the password.

Hi!

 

I know that you can't ask for help to bypass the BIOS password, tha's why I'm not asking about that!

I'm asking about a HP software, like Dells "Enhancement Pack" to change the backlight time.

So to be clear I'm not trying to do anything strange with my BIOS, I just want to change the keyboard backlight timeout.

 

Best regards - Jorgen.
