Re: Changed Internal Battery, Need Admin Password - HP Support Community

jaymack70 · ‎03-09-2017

Changed the internal battery in my Pavilion DV7. Turned the system on was prompted to enter the admin password or power on password. I don't ever use a password to log on to the system and cannot remember the admin password. Likely didn't change it from whatever the default is. Any idea what the password might be?

Hi,

Enter the power on password incorrectly and then it will give a system halt code. Post that to get the reset code.

Thank you, and the code worked, but now I am still receiving the same message that the CMOS battery is still low. Any idea why?
