HP Commercial PCs - Using Bios Config Utility .e x e (B C U) to Set a BIOS Administrator Password Information In a configuration where a BIOS User account has been established by the initial setup of HP Protect Tools, it may be necessary to gain administrative access to the BIOS afterward by establishing a BIOS Administrator account using Bios Config Utility.e x e .

New Tool for Probook/Elitebook I have created a tool that will make a small executable file that you run from a bootable DOS environment. This will reset the BIOS Password and TPM. I am guessing support for about 20 models, but I dont have them all to test on. See my youtube video /watch?v=Bs8p927SyVU (not spam, total legit. I started with my own personal Probook 6550b that was locked) Confirmed Models: (From myself or other people using my tool) Probook 6550b EliteBook 2740p EliteBook 8440p EliteBook 2560p EliteBook8640p ProBook 6460b Possible likely other models include: (please help me confirm them!) HP 2230s HP 2730p HP 4310s HP 4510s HP 6455p HP 6535b HP 6545b HP 6730b HP 6735b HP 6930p HP 8530p HP 8530w HP 8540w HP 8560p HP 8730w Please forgive me, Im in the engineering field, not programming. But my method does work. I need more confirmation on the models. I just want to help people with locked BIOS. If its not on the list, I can give another set of files to test with. Ill assist where and when I can. I cant post links, but there is one in my video description. From my readme file

I am currently trying to unlock a Probook 4440S and I'm having trouble doing it.... SN: 2CE2371Z37 UUID: 41D6D45D07FEE111B7436EC459008067 I have downloaded your tool, then I ran the "USB Image Tool", I then selected the 16GB Sandisk Cruzer USB Device Click on "Restore" In the open box that pops up I then chose the "HPBR-WIN32" image file and click open. once it finish's putting everything on to the USB device then what else do I do? I'm not able to boot with anything... it only wants to boot with the HDD only all the time..
Does anyone have a copy of the hp sp52095.exe file? HP will not let you download it now. Not sure if anyone ever looks here now, but giving this a shot.
