Re: BIOS Password for HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1
Do you have any recommendations for the BIOS programming tool, will something like this work? https://flashrom.org/Flashrom

Re: reset bios password for my hp elitebook 1040 g1
Hello, I have the same problem with my "new" bought HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G1. Everything works fine with a new SSD, you can change boot order by F9 but when pressing F10 during the boot process the machine wants to have a BIOS PW. I bought the PC from private contact but the BIOS PW is inknown. The former user doesn't even know that there's a PW installed. I've been in contact with HP for a SMC-file but the support war aborted due to data protection issues. I also tried many manuals I found on google searches (unplug CMOS battery, several HP programm, etc.) but without success. My last hope is this forum respectively this thread but unfortunately I don't understand those three comments. I don't know how to pick the bios backup and I don't know what to do with the rar-file. Is there anybody out there who can help after all this time?!? Thanks and BR

Re: reset bios password for my hp elitebook 1040 g1
Thank You for Your answer and the YouTube-link. I‘m afraid I understand what to do, but I‘m really scared of doing it. I ordered a programmer but I took one with a clamp. I hope this works without any soldering. On the other hand I recognized that there‘re two BIOS chips on the board. Am I right that it‘s mandatory to backup both? Furthermore I found a program called „HPunlocker“ or so. Do You recommend to use it? Best Regards, Daniel
