I have a locked BIOS from an HP800 series G1. The BIOS has both an Administrator and a User. I managed to unlock the Administrator using the HPUnlocker tool. All I can do now is enter as Guest User. Can someone kindly clear the user?

Re: locked BIOS from an HP800 series G1
Just to clarify this is the BIOS from the HP EliteBook 800 series G1 notebook (HP 820/840/850).
Not the EliteDesk 800. -

Re: locked BIOS from an EliteBook 800 series G1
Cool, thanks for replying my question. For a moment there I thought I was speaking Chinese and no could understand what I was asking.
Thanks for your effort at preparing this binary for me. Unfortunately it did not work. The only difference now is user string Sam Mason has been substituted for a blank string. The user password is still expected. Did you just replace the user string by hand? Or do you have a specific tool that you are using? It would be good to have this information but if it's proprietary and if the IP is yours then you're by all means entitled to said position.Comment

Re: locked BIOS from an EliteBook 800 series G1
Actually there is a trick to solve this problem. You need to set a fresh BIOS Administrator password. Then login again as Administrator using your new password and then delete users and their corresponding passwords from there on. So this is perfectly sound and logical so long as the device can be fully accessed as the Administrator.Comment

I personally hate what the industry does with BIOS passwords. Setting passwords renders system next to useless in the event that passwords get lost. The security gains from setting BIOS passwords are questionable at best. In the end it's an immense waste of resources.Comment
