HP Probook/Elitebook BIOS Password Reset [Utility]

So I scanned this forum and many others for the last few days. Does not seem to be a clear answer on the 6470b bios lock.
A)Is it doable?
B) If so what if the method?

I found one link here asked by @alyssa101 and a reply by @koosknlo but the reply was for a method for the 6530b https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/hp-probook-6470b-bios-password-removal.76469/
But no confirmation that it indeed works for 6470b?
Is my only method manual chip programming ( i would rather avoid the $ investment of buying a rasberry pi and all the acessories)

 

i use cheap ch341a $6

Hi, Maziff.

Your video links are broken .. nice effort on your part and it appears that you've spent a lot of time on this HOWEVER,, without the video(s) it doesn't do me much good.

Why is it named HP+BIOS+Password+Reset+04-11-16 ?? It is still the same old 2013 version that doesn't support any newer HP models.
Whoever wrote this program should update it to support also newer models. I'm sure everyone wold be very happy then.

 

Hi guys.
I have HP 840 G2 and i need to reset BIOS password. Can you send me SMC.bin file?

Thanks

 

I just got off the phone with HP and they have a new policy where they don't provide .bin files anymore. I'm not sure what to do...

 

Let me know if you will find a solution

 

Seems like HP no longer honors any requests to create SMC.BIN files to reset bios passwords

I have a few HP 6560B Im trying to remove the password from, HP said they dont do this anymore as its against their policy

 

I can confirm, HP doesn't provide smc.bin any more. Looks like for newer models, replacing or programing the bios chip might be the only option.

well im screwed then. Ssd died on this EliteBook 840 g2 i got for free so i bought a new one to load windows on to but can't get into bios to use the windows iso off the flash drive

 

same thing with me, a mate brought his 640 g2 over with a dead HDD and replacing prompts for BIOS password. annoying.

 

Today i as well got ignored from HP for the smc.bin file.
So i will just replace the chip , i am not going to buy another motherboard as they suggested (crazy thinking ,for a service that was free, now to pay an entire motherboard) .
