Yenny.
There is no master password or password generator for EliteBooks or ProBooks.
You must contact HP Support.

OR
Replace the BIOS chip.
Sorry.

Hello everyone,
Can somebody generate master BIOS password for this HP Compaq 2230s. The owner bought it from his coworker 2 years ago. Yesterday, he forgot his Windows password. I could not get into BIOS to change the boot order so that I can boot in CD/DVD or USB for windows password reset.
p/n: FU597ES#ABV
Thanks in advance

Hi stokedcat,
Enter an incorrect password 3 times and you should get a 'halt code' - post back with this code.
