Thanks for the amazingly quick response. I have just tried the new file. It has removed the power-on password but the BIOS Admin password is still there.
Please let me know if it was something I have done wrong of if you need the bin file for the other chip.

Replace the whole UserCred section with a clean UserCred section.

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock

Thanks to both of you. I made the same changes to the admin pass section as was made to the power-on and now I'm in.

Is there anywhere to learn how to do this for different makes/models? It would be nice to be able to help out others with this sort of thing.

When you get access, restore security settings to default aswell. This clears everything that might still be there.

Hi, I have the same HP 1040 G3 and the same problem as yours had. What is this .rar file that you sent to the guys that helped you. Please explain? I had a look at the motherboard and saw some numbers similar to what you posted. Can't remember where I saved this info but can look again.

You need an SPI programmer ...

Re: Hp elitebook 1040 g3 bios password

Good morning all.

I bought a cheap HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 from a brooker.
It works perfectly but the bios is locked and I cannot boot from an external medium (USB key for example) to put everything back OK as new.
How to do?
I read that it is necessary to extract a Bios file from a circuit. But which one? I figured it was in U23 but where is U23 on the motherboard.
Without diagram or implantation of components, not easy.
Does anyone have this card implantation so that I can remove this circuit. In all the discussions that I have read, I cannot find the reference of the chip.
What is his little name.
I specify that I am sufficiently experienced to desolder this component (SO8 I suppose) and I have the equipment either at home or at my work for the welding operations.
I will buy a programmer if necessary (EZP2019). For the software, you can advise me.

Is it possible to extract the bios without desoldering the components. Using special pliers.

Post a bit long for a start but at least everything is settled.

Thank you all for your answers and tips.
Regards,
Didier from France.

Hi,
I also have a HP Elitebook 1040 G3 with a password lock on the BIOS. I have tried the HP tool from the forum but with no success, if anyone can help with the attached, I would appreciate it massively.

Kind regards

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock

I realised I should have read both chips.

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock

I've replaced the Usercred section with a clean one. This should work.

Edit: peste beat me to it.
