@ EliteBookParts, can you not just share it so other members can use it also perhaps post link in bios tools section.
Will you try and lock out the laptop by inputting the wrong bios password a few times until you get a service code. Then post the service code which should now display in this thread please.
Hello can samebody explain where exactly to write 0*00s and a way of putting the bios file back into the chip. i forgot the Bios Password . Perhaps there is another way to solve this. excuse for my english. Thank

SOLUTION: This is what I did and worked like a dream. Contacted HP, told them the problem. They "escalated the case," took my info. The next day I was emailed a file called SMC.bin. It is formatted specifically for my machine, has to match the UUID. Copied file to FAT 32 formatted jump drive, booted it as per the email instructions, reset bios password. I did this via chat on HP's website. Screwing with the bios battery will not work on Elitebook...
Just updating this with some information in case someone else comes along , see my original thread about HP Pro/Elitebook BIOS Password resets. forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/49497-HP-Probook-Elitebook-BIOS-Password-Reset-Utility
I have a ProBook 6570b here, also with an ADMIN locked BIOS. I called HP tech support and was asked for the UUID. I'm hoping for an email in the next day or two with my unlock file. FINGERS CROSSED...
Success Call me a lucky one. My ProBook 6570b was still under warranty. A quick call to HP tech support, and they emailed me the required SMC.bin file to clear the BIOS password. All I had to do was copy the BIN file to a bootable USB flash drive. I powered on the laptop while holding the "WINDOWS" "UP ARROW" and "DOWN ARROW" keys. Less than 30 seconds later I was in the BIOS, and the password was removed. FYI: A lot of EliteBooks and ProBooks were sold with 3year warranties, so for those who can't get Mazzif's AWESOME utility to work, see if HP can lend a hand.
