Re: HP 840 G7 password


Thank you Vesko. I've attached the .bin file. That's the 16MB, as I was unable to extract the 32MB (not sure if it even has one?)....

Re: HP 840 G7 password


I looked through the beginner's guide on here but didn't see how to extract the bios from the laptop to upload it. Can you point me in the right direction? Sorry man, I'm a total noob at this.


I also forgot to include the motherboard model number. Pictures are attached....

Re: HP 840 G7 password

Hello all,

Having trouble resetting this bios password. I used the flash utility. The 16MB says it flashed but when I tried the 32MB it says to revert back to flashing with the 16MB.

Unfortunately, the bios password is still locked, even though it says the 16MB worked. I just dragged the .bin file into the utility, then restarted the laptop.

Here's the laptop's info:

SKU Number: 1C8P3UT#ABA

UUID: 9B385AC018701FE17EEECC8450FF9475

UUID (standard format): C05A389B-7018-E11F-7EEE-CC8450FF9475...
