Damn Dude what happend to the days where you just had to remove The Cmos Battery... Anyway Imhaving this problem at the moment but this is way too technical for me even trying this , but great video
is the same procedure for locked bios in hp Zbook G2 ? or might be something easier tricks for users without re-soldering/programming bios ? Thanks, and great video tutorial/explanation, like it !
Hi Alex, Thanks for the view and question. I have never personally tried a G2, but I believe the process will be the same for it to work. You can get a cable jumper clip which saves having to remove the BIOS chip from the motherboard if that helps?
it is really a pity that the only way to do this is by having special tools and technical skills. i can´t access bios to enable virtualization on my laptop since it has bios password... totally disapointed.
Which hot air gun do you recommend? I am looking to buy one but there are so many. I see you can specify the temperature and the airflow on yours. Thank you.
You didn't really need to pull everything apart. Just removing the back plastic cover was enough to expose the BIOS chip. I would also recommend using a chip test clip for reprogramming rather then unsoldering it out. But otherwise, thank you for this informative video.
Hello, I think it will be difficult for me to desolder the bios chip of my computer. Can i just solder wires on the pins of the BIOS chip and reprogram it without unsoldering ?
Does HP not let you download the bios for you laptop model from their website? I know Dell does. Not sure why you'd need to get it from a random website? As when I buy a used laptop, I'd always flash the bios with the latest version from the manufacturers website. Just so I know I have the latest version, and just in case the previous owner didn't do something right or messed with the bios, and then I'd also replace the CMOS battery.
@@TweakTips Okay, after you flash the BIOS with the download from that website to remove the password. Can you then flash the BIOS with the official version from the manufacturers website? Thanks.
I did, well the XgPro utility was set to erase the BIOS before programming - so when you click program, it will (by default) erase the BIOS IC before re-programming it
Hi, I have a HP ProBook 4430s Laptop and the current configuration is as follows👇 2x2GB 1333Mhz PC3 RAM= 4GB, Intel Core i5 2520M Processor, 500GB HDD with Windos 10 Pro 64bit. I want to upgrade my RAM with 2x8GB 1600Mhz PC3 and also want to replace the hdd with the 500GB SSD but don't want to change the processor so is it possible to change all these without changing the the CPU. Please healp me in this regard🙏
Hi Rupak - the ProBook 4430s accepts DDR3 RAM, so as long as the RAM you are installing is compatible, then yes. The SSD should be SATA, so again you will be OK. No need to upgrade the processor.
@@TweakTips Hi thanks for your repply i would like to known, Is there anything else to watch accept the DDR3, like ram speed (1333 Mhz/1600 Mhz) voltage (1.35v/1.5v) etc and also i would like to informe you that according to HP website this lapotop supports only 8GB =4x4 RAM.
hello, has anyone tried to access the bios of the last probook 440 G9 ? Can we with the ch341a ? I have the impression that the eprom is more complicated to access 🥴
thank you. i did it without disoldering-soldering but using the cable with clips and worked flawlessly!

Hello, I have an HP Elitebook 9470M (made in 2016) that has a locked BIOS and wondering if this will work with clearing the BIOS password?
Great tutorial. Thank you........Is it possible to buy a new clean bios chip instead of removing and reprogramming the existing?
I have seen a few sellers that have programmed Bios chips on Ebay
it is really a pity that the only way to do this is by having special tools and technical skills. i can´t access bios to enable virtualization on my laptop since it has bios password... totally disapointed.
This is insane. You are SO BLACKLISTED, Hewlett Packard!!!!!!!
Which hot air gun do you recommend? I am looking to buy one but there are so many. I see you can specify the temperature and the airflow on yours. Thank you.
Do you/could you offer this as a service if one could get the motherboard to you?

Greetings please can I get the already done like new one for this chip?

Flashing with the BIOS from the HP website will not remove the BIOS password
@@TweakTips Okay, after you flash the BIOS with the download from that website to remove the password. Can you then flash the BIOS with the official version from the manufacturers website? Thanks.
hello, works for HP prodesk 600 G6 mini pc? please help me. thanks
Hello, I downloaded and i run the .exe file and it returned " missing file destination argument! ". Please help
You do not need to run the exe file - simply drag and drop your original BIOS file on top of the exe file.
@@TweakTips Thanks, I ll try it and give a feedback.
Hello, does this work for HP probook - 450 G8 ?
Never tried a G8, but worth a try - let us know how you get on
@@TweakTipsexcellent video
I have a HP Zbook Stuido inch G9 laptop.
can you repair it
But you didn't erase the former bios file on the rom before reprogramming it with the newly unlocked file
I did, well the XgPro utility was set to erase the BIOS before programming - so when you click program, it will (by default) erase the BIOS IC before re-programming it

Some laptops using DDR3 actually use DDR3L (1.3v low voltage) and not standard DDR3 (1.5v)
Hi. Can you help me with an HP 455 G7 laptop.
Can you just replace the motherboard?
Yes, you can if you have the budget to do so
Thks
I have a Elitebook 755,, never set a bios password. Then today... BAM. It suddenly has bios password set.

Hi,,is there any other way other than this
How I can removed bios administrator password from my HP elitedesk 800 G2 computer
Remove the password jumper on the motherboard and boot it up. This will only work on desktops not laptops/

Would you remove my chip for me and reset the password please? I can mail it could you please help?
RCUnlocker just says "missing unlockable content" when I drag the bios into the program
