Hi, have you ever seen this print screen?
for som reason, a HP PC, HP Elitebook 840 G7, on every boot ask for administrator password. To avoid this i have restored security settings to fattory defaults.
Then, whenever i start PC, now every time I start the pc I get that screen, but my admin password does not work.
Is there any default password? i can't find any solutions.
Any response is appreciated.

Thanks.
