How can I reset my BIOS password on my hp G62 notebook?

[pi-boss]

Please note that I have tried the "normal" or standard procedure used for resetting my BIOS password and as I noticed in many other posts, this computer (G62 Notebook) maintains its BIOS data even upon removing the coin battery.  I have also tried shorting out leads that appear to be linked to the battery to remove any capacitance and that did not help either.

If someone has successfully cleared the password for this computer model or is an employee of HP having the knowledge or wisdom of how to do this, please let me know.  My computer is beyond its one year support date and thus a fee will be assessed should I call Tech Support and therefore would be overly grateful for any assistance. 

Thanks - Glenn

PS:
Seems to me this should be attainable knowledge for the owner of the PC.

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier, I didn't get a notification of your response.  The code I'm being given after three fails is:

81850857

and it is my computer, seriously.  I have moved and the paper with the password remained behind.  As well, I'm stuck with booting from only the hard drive and cannot reinstall the original OS.  I'd be VERY grateful if you could help.

Thanks and Happy New Year  (12/31/2012);

Here’s the link to that thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/How-can-I-reset-my-BIOS-password-on-my-hp-G...

Upon seeing that you asked for the “3 fail code” (and was overly thrilled) I recently posted the code and am PRAYING WITH UTMOST DESPERATION that you may still be able to help me.  I recently posted my code in that thread but hadn’t heard from you and HP is asking for $150 and over a week with my computer to recover it, thus I am providing the code with all hopes that you are still able to help in such recovery:   CODE:  81850857

Thanks for reading and should you have any ability to help, please email me at:    [Personal Information Removed] or post in the provided thread link.

Very Sincerely;

Glenn

REO;

I'm posatively dumbfounded!  It worked perfectly.  I'm both dumbfounded by the fact that you helped me solve a two year long problem as well as that HP could have simply asked particular ownership verification questions yet insisted on charging me as well as putting me through some very traumatic phone calls and headaches!

Wow!  I thank you so sincerely and seriously!  If there's something, a favor,  in the programming realm I can provide you, let me know.  Further, if you have a "cause" by which I can donate funds, I'll drop you/it $50, just let me know.  Again, thank you and God bless!

I am humbled by your words.

Please don’t blame HP they have Policies and Procedures they must follow.

What I do on this forum I do to just help people.

But everyone should help their local Animal Welfare Society .:smileywink:
