Hello 

I byed an Hp-maskin Elitebook 8540p from  a factotry in Lund Sweden. After a few days I  get in to Bios and of course I did

some mistakes like a new konto in Bios. I set the konto to my name but did mistakes whith the password.Now I can not come longer than I must give password. if I take F10 it will ask for Bios administratör. Have HP possible Administratörs- passwordet for my machine so I can use the computer little more than one week.

I have Windows 7 in the computer.     Produkt nummer:   CNDO310J9F.   Serial nr:WH130AW#AK8.

UUID:    3B4E7A49ODF4DE1181DOB9F76E391827.  Please I should be very glad if you can help me on some ways.

 

regards 

Stefan

There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks.

 

You will need to contact HP.

Or replace the BIOS chip.

Hey thank you I have already seen that three links. But can you please show me  Where on the Elitebook 8540p:s motherboard  Bios chipet is?  I  think you can show me a picture on it. If you do so I think I will change the chip so I can boot

from another place and formated the disk and then reinstall Os.

I have purchased BIOS chips from them in the past.

 

With your purchase they email you the chip location.
