HP Recommended
Product: H8 1414
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi All,

 

I just acquired a HP ENVY H8 1414. I want to wipe it clean and install linux. But every time I try to boot from my USB by hitting f12 I get hit with this password from the bios. I don’t know it and want to get around it. I don’t care if everything is lost to get passed it. I want to do a clean install, but I need to get around this opstical.

 

 

Thanks,

Wold
