HP Elitebook 840 G2: Flash BIOS to clean password
Hi
I picked up a heavily damaged laptop from a friend who had basically screwed it over. I've fixed most of the bits but now I need a way to remove the BIOS password that he forgot the password to. I knew this before I got it but thought I could get around it.
I can read and write the chip on the motherboard using a SOIC clip and my pi and reading certainly seems consistent.
I've dumped the current BIOS as a precaution but all I want to do is effectively replace the current with a BIOS version that is not protected. Is someone able to look at the rom file and remove the password protection?
Thanks,
Chris
