HP Recommended

I have a HP 2760P and I'm running Windows 7 64bit,

I did a clean install since I replaced the harddisk, I installed HP Protect Tools.

 

Problem:

Most of the BIOS settings are grayed out, I can't change anything. Do I need to login to the BIOS as Administrator or so?

 

When I enter the BIOS I get asked to login.

I can only login with my Domain-Account, I can't enter another account name.

I therefore login and see the bios-settings.

However most settings are grayed out.

"Set Administrator Password" is also grayed out.

 

How can I enable the BIOS-settings?

Do I need to Login into the BIOS as an Administrator? How can I do that, during entering the BIOS it only let's me login as my regular domain-account or how can I even set an Administrator-Password?

 

Thanks and best regards
