Hey everyone,
I recently bought a CH341A programmer, but I’m still not 100% sure what to do next. I couldn’t find any tutorials specifically for the HP Elitebook 835 G11, so I’m trying to piece things together.
From what I’ve learned so far, the process looks something like this:
I’ve also heard that some systems have both a Main chip and an EC chip. I asked a guy on Telegram (who does BIOS password removals on YouTube), and he told me I only need to work on the Main chip.
Another thing:The HP Elitebook 835 G11 has the Q25W256JW chip and it requires a 1.8V adapter. I didn’t want to risk frying it, so I ordered the adapter and am waiting for it to arrive.
So my questions are:
Happy to share any info I’ve gathered if it helps others too.
Thanks in advance!

From what I’ve learned so far, the process looks something like this:
- Use the programmer to read the chip.
- Save a backup of the dump.
- Open the .bin file in Hex Workshop.
- Replace certain lines with “FF”.
- Write the modified file back to the chip.
- Boot the laptop → password should be gone.

So my questions are:
- Is this the right approach for the HP Elitebook 835 G11 ?
- Do I really only need to modify the Main chip?
- Any tips or insights before I start?
Happy to share any info I’ve gathered if it helps others too.
Thanks in advance!
