The Hp 2230s is a business class laptop isn't it? No backdoor for those-only consumer class can be cracked.

I never know that fact as its a second hand laptop, my brother gave me

REO did suggest Bios chip replacement. But that is not a viable solution for me
If i change the motherboard will that fix my problems
My main problem is the hdd is corrupted

Yes, a motherboard replacement would also replace the BIOS chip.

Enter an incorrect password 3 times and you should receive a halt code - post back with this code.
