I have a HP G62-229NR Notebook running Windows 7 Home premium that I have forgotten the ADMIN password and can NOT get into the BIOS set-up, this was my wifes computer, and I lost her two years ago, I keep using this computer because it makes me feel comfy, like she's here with me. I sure hope some one knows a way to retrieve, re-set, change the password, so I can continue using this computer. Thank you for any and all ideas.

Please enter the incorrect password 3 times and reply to this post with an error code or the halt code, so I can reset the password for you
Or
Please click on the below shown link to reset the password by yourself using the error code or the halt code
Steps to be followed after you reset the password:
- Use the unlock code posted above to enter the BIOS
- Disable all passwords that are enabled
- If asked for current password - type the unlock code
- For new password, just press ENTER key
- Repeat the same for verify password column.
- Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Incase if the Password doesn’t work please try a Hard Reset as follows.
- Shut down the notebook
- Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery
- Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds
- Plug in the Power/AC Adapter (Leave the battery out for the moment) & Start the Notebook
- If you now see a password box, Please type the same Password I shared before and press enter
