    Legacy HPBR toolkit would not work here. Reflashing using PI or other programmer should work. Lots of discussion on that here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/hp-elitebook-70-series-bios-password-reset-util-test.56701/

    Need to know what the 'error' is when you try to reprogram. Usually happens when you clear a password initially and it tells you that you need to run a 2nd time, and then you don't. Should be able to reprogram using Option 3. But if its tossing an error, please relay that information.

    So sad is the "File does not exist on the server" message when I try to download the tool via link in the first post...

    Legacy toolkit would not work with that model. Reflashing will. See my discussion here:https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/hp-elitebook-70-series-bios-password-reset-util-test.56701/

    It should always be possible although I have never done it personally myself. Sounds pretty invasive, but might be less trouble than purchasing kit to reflash.

    Hi, i got a smc.bin with the right UUID from HP for my HP Elitebook 840 G2, but when i will go to reset the BIOS with it, i got a failure.

    I think, it is the wrong date / time, because BIOSdate is on 22.8.2013 12:00. Is there any way to change the Date / Time in the smc.bin?

    Is there anyone who could help?

    Hi Mazzif,

    I am trying to use your tool but the usb image tool is not showing up my USB>SATA hard drive.

    I already made the drive bootable and installed freeDOS, is there a download available with just files to copy instead of an image please?

    The laptop is a probook 6550b with BIOS version F.03, 04/10/2010.

    Thanks!

    Yeah sure, but seems awfully invasive given the solution provided.

    I would suggest using ImDisk virtual disk driver to mount the image and then extract the files. But seems like a ton of work when you can just use USB Image Tool to write the image to your SATA and be done with it.
