Minor update to Windows package. Fixed some bugs that went un-noticed, combined DOS tools in this build. Its now pretty much a universal package. Boot to USB to gather system information. Then either run DOS tools right away, or then remove USB and use in windows machine to create more keys using HP BIOS Unlock.exe. Boot back to USB to run shotgun bat for keys created from windows.
Just used the tool on my Elitebook 8440P, worked first try, no problem! Only had to restart 2 or 3 times before the second run would actually run, but after that, BIOS totally cleared and unlocked! Great work, finally done with replacing the BIOS chips on those d**n Pro and Elitebooks! Thanks a bunch! Grtz, Tom_Da_Man
@tonykang Try to go to the BIOS with the ESC - key instead of using the F keys. It did this too on my Elitebook 8440P, but worked with ESC-Key! Just give it a try! Grtz, Tom_Da_Man
This is the Intel Antitheft System, not BIOS password related. I'm sorry I cant help with this issue.
Mazzif, What program are you using to create your image files? I've tried loading your software on both USB and HDD, neither of which are bootable (based on my locked boot order, your images work great on other computers). I seem to get some sort of response from the CD/DVD drive though I'm having trouble creating a bootable CD/DVD that is consistent with your image files. Cheers!
Images were created using the included USB Image Tool. You wont be able to simply burn the image to CD/DVD any more then you could burn a CD ISO to USB. See my OP and view the usage video. If restoring to HDD you will need to tick an option in USB Imaging Tool to see HDD. Also cd/DVD isn't an easy option because I'm writing data not just reading. And the Dos sata cd/DVD driver issues.
First of all thank you for making this possbile i was trying to help my uncle installing his HP 6730B but i removed his hp bios password and now its asking for a password that i do not know. I tried ADMIN etc..but no way! Now i was looking into your video's on youtube but i cannot find any tutorial to find the password. Please help.. I downloaded the rar file but there isn't a readmefile where i can find instructions. Do you have a windows executable to just run enter the number of my notebook? The Windows based utility is not available. There is a 507 kb file to download but no instructions in it Thank you

Mazzif, Thanks, this worked great on my Elitebook 8440p. Do you have a place to donate money to you for your efforts? You should embed a donate link in the instructions. I don't have a lot but I will be happy to donate what little I can to you. Thanks again!!!
Your welcome, and I'm glad it worked for you. I do have a place set up for donation There is an embedded link in my windows app, and the link is also on the main YouTube vid
Hi Mazzif Please help (i read old message about 6470b but i cant find any solution ) hp probook 6470B bios admin password reset . I tried shotgun and other action but not worked.
I can not recover my bios probook 4310s and tried win + b for me to boot from the usb and nothing for q in the boot will not let me = (any other solution already and removed the battery from the computer and nothing
This method to force BIOS update works with the 4310s. Make sure USB is formatted FAT32, make sure your files are correct, make sure the directory structure is correct. If you still can initiate the recovery, try a new usb thumbdrive, try a different port.
Hp probook bios administrator password mazif please help me for pasword adminidtrator bios and system board error (00A) thanks
I have no experience with the 4421s. I would try DOS version and use reprogram option and see where we land from there.
