HP Recommended
Product: HP EliteBook Folio 9480m Notebook PC

Hi,

Received an EliteBook folio 9480m. in great shape from eBay but the BIOS has an administrative password. I have contacted the seller and hopefully (s)he responds. I reached out to HP support but they said they no longer provide help for resetting BIOS passwords and told me essentially to replace the motherboard. I can at least boot into Windows but I cannot boot into legacy/MBR drives since the BIOS is configured for UEFI only and I cannot change anything in there. If I try updating the BIOS, it asks for the BIOS password which I do not have. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
