Product: HP EliteBook FOLIO 1040 G1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Hi!
I recently bought a new laptop, i'm very happy with it and it works fine!
Although, now i need to access the BIOS Password, something that the previously owner dont recall setting ( A School )
Does anyone know any way to reset/recover the BIOS password to this model, without buying a new motherboard/BIOS Chip or ''Contact HP Support, because they probably need a proof that it's not stolen?
I didnt get any receipt from the School that they've bought it,
Anyone got any ideas?
