Please help.... I have a Pavilion g4-1315dx with a bios password that has been forgotten.

 

The code it gives me after 3 attemps is [ 30213182 ].

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi REO51ST

 

Do you have any experience with BIOS chipset replacement for 2560p/2570p models? I have one that comes with locked BIOS and all attempts to have it unlocked failed.

From the images I can find the chip is next to the memory.

 

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

Hello,

 

I am an HP certified technician in New Hampshire and I have a client who locked his BIOS and forgot the password on his 2560p; I have tried to remove the CMOS battery as well as the battery and adapter but I still cannot access the BIOS after waiting for the BIOS to 'discharge'; I am hoping I can provide information so that someone can help me access the BIOS: I need to get this unit ready for a new user and could use some help with this! Thanks so very much,

BusyTech

in 2560p, just like in 2570p, you have two options: contact HP support to have an unlock file generated, or replace the BIOS chip on the motherboard. I typically go with the second approach (though it does require some soldering skills).
