    If you forget the power-on password, you have a more difficult problem. Since the power-on password was designed to provide complete security, you will need to contact an HP-authorized service center for assistance. All data on the hard drive will be removed during the service.


    WARNING: If you forget the power-on password, the computer must be reset at an HP-certified repair center. Please contact HP to schedule a repair. The Drive Lock password cannot be reset. If you lose or forget the Drive Lock password, the hard drive must be replaced. Please contact HP to order a new hard drive. These services are not covered by the warranty.

Hi, There are the ways to reset your BIOS to default for free. You need dissemble your PC. First unplug the power , wait for 5 minutes to fully discharged electricity from your computer. Dissemble your computer : - Remove the BIOS battery and wait for hours before re fit it. Or - Change/ re-route BIOS jumper from #1- #2 TO #2- #3. Or - Dismantle your BIOS chip and wait for hours to make it reset and back to factory setting. Now assemble back your computer. During start up , go to your BIOS setup by pressing DEL, F1 or F10 button on your keyboard to make advance set up.

The Bios Password Locked is a nightmare, there is no easy solution. Back door approach is risky and can cause permanent damage to the Bios chip. I know! because when I went on line for possible back door solutions it came with strong warnings, I decided the risk was to high and take a different path. I'am afraid there is no resolution without spending money, all the services that I have come across claim they can crack the Bios code at a price.

Blue box password

Hello,
I am assuming you are talking about the BIOS password which you must enter before the laptop even boots. One way to get past the password is to reset your CMOS battery by taking it out and then wait 10-25 seconds before putting it back in. After it is back in, plug the laptop back in and power up the computer. This should bypass the password. If this fails you can try removing the password using software which you can find here:

Bypass bios setup password hp pavillion

Step 1:
All computer BIOS chips have a backdoor master password designed to be used in the event that you can't remember the password you set yourself or by a tech support agent who is fixing your machine. These passwords are set at the factory level and do not change, no matter what model of computer you own. You will use this password to bypass the currently set password in the event that you need to access your HP BIOS but cannot.

Turn on your HP computer. Strike the "F2" keyboard key. Your HP computer will attempt to load your BIOS. You will be prompted to enter your current password. Type "merlin" into the password prompt and hit "Enter." This is the backdoor BIOS password for HP brand computers. You will now bypass the user defined password and the BIOS screen will load as normal.

HP Mini Notebook 2140 when i go into bios i am asked for a setup password

I recommend removing and reinstalling the CMOS battery but you will need to open up your laptop to do this. Otherwise, this link provides some software options to cracking and resetting the password:

On the second page of this guide, you will see a circular yellow battery (the CMOS battery) depicted in step 5. This is what needs to be popped out, wait several seconds and put it back in.

How do i remove bios password

There are many known ways to reset / remove / bypass the password:

* By removing the CMOS battery
* By using the motherboard jumper
* By using MS DOS command
* By using software
* By using Backdoor BIOS password
Almost all motherboards use a small coin sized CMOS battery to store all BIOS settings along with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinet and remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and then put it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'll need to re-enter all settings.

If it fails, then try to remove the battery for at least one hour.
