The default administrator or root password for all HP-provided Build Plans is: ChangeMe123! CAUTION: HP strongly recommends changing this password before deploying to any servers.

Hi:

Your notebook uses the HP Sparekey method of password recovery. You were supposed to answer 3 questions so that you could remember your password in the event you forgot it. Also, you could have enrolled your password with HP and if you lost it you could get it from HP customer support if you provided proof of ownership.

If you just set a password and did not enroll in HP Sparekey or answer the 3 security questions you will not be able to enter the BIOS. If that was a power on password, your notebook is only good for parts (except the motherboard).

There is no way to reset it by removing batteries or whatever.

This is another possibility.

Method 3 of the choices may be the solution.

Re-installing windows from a CD or USB stick would also fix it.

Check out first before throwing anything away.

Hope that solves it.
