Hi nikdouv,
Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password.
If you Contact HP Business support, they may be able to send you a customised file which you can use at boot to reset the password - the only other method that will work on these machines is to replace the bios chip.

Do you receive a halt code after 3 incorrect entries - if you do and it's different from the s/n, post back with the code?

Hi,
If you have an Elitebook, contact HP Business Support - they should be able to send you a binary file you can use at boot to remove this password.
