Ok thanks for your advice. I was actually looking art ordering gone of those clip things.
I will see if i can find someone to unsloder it for me.
If I go the unsoldering route, would it be better to just buy an unlocked BIOS chip and have it soldered in, as opposed to extract/modify/rewrite with the original chip? I see they are availalbe on eBay.

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I have been looking for!...

Removing the chip is beyond me.
There is a sepaprate post about doing htis with a HP 850 G1 laptop:
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...e3#post1544424
In that post, there is no mention of removing the BIOS chip.
Presumably, with this model, the job can be done without removing the chp?

Yes I saw that post. It describes the features of RCUnlocker.
What I am interested to know is how to dump the BIOS to a file; and then how to write the modified BIOS file back to the chip.
My assumption is that RCUnlocker is not used for these steps (am I mistaken?).
If these steps are not done using RCUnlocker, then what tool or tools are used to do these steps?
Thanks....

Thanks for your reply.
I do understand how to use the RCUnlocker software.
So how do I dump BIOS? What is the preferred tool or tools to do this step?
And how do I write the unlocked BIOS back tot he chip? What is the preferred tool or toosl to do this?
I appreciate your help.

I too have a HP 850 G1 with unknown BIOS password.
Could someone please explaint the steps to follow to remove the BIOS password?
What are the steps before and after using RCUnlocker?
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your advice. Are you referring to the forum called "BIOS requests ONLY!"? I chose to not post this request there because the name seems kinda emphatic about what should be posted there.

Hello,
Kinda new to this, so hoping you will all give me a bit of a pass.
I came to this forum because need to remove the BIOS password on an HP EliteBook 850 G1.
I understand that I need to dumpt the BIOS to a dump file, process the dump file with RCUnlocker, then write the modified BIN file back to tthe BIOS chip.
Is there a beginner guide anywhere that describes the entire process for doing this?
I am reallly in the dark regarding which tool or tools are required to extract the BIOS dump file, then write the modified BIN back to the BIOS chip. The guides I have...
