LF Password for bios M.O.E Laptop

[HSA]

Good Day ,

Any help is appreciated...i want to reinstall windows but need to enter the bios to change some settings. The laptop was a former student who i am trying to help. He comes from a poor family with alot of brothers and sisters...8 in total. he cannot afford to buy a new laptop so i am trying to fix his old one for him. He recently did cxc and got a job that requires the use of a laptop. As such he will be required to install software etc to help him in the execution of his job. Its a worthy cause so any help will be appreciated. No trolling please.


HP PROBOOK 4440s


Much Thanks...

find an IT tech who worked for the ministry - those who were placed at schools they should know

[uncle sam]

ent you could get in trouble for that? anyway what u need? to change the boot order or something?

[sliderz1]

they get to keep it after school finish?

[make meh care]

type kamla and see if it wokkin
if not then use the f10 key on a hp laptop to access the boot menu
on a lenovo you need to use the f12 key while the system is booting up

[HSA]

ent you could get in trouble for that? anyway what u need? to change the boot order or something?

na... once you finish school you have no obligation to return it so i guess its yours...

i cannot change the boot order as i cannot enter the bios...

i installed a dvd rw drive as those laptops do not come with one . i also tried an external dvd rw but no luck...

i tried to select the boot drive but the internal nor external dvd is listed..only the notebook harddrive..

Anyone have any links to any MOE tech?

[make meh care]

i have done this man times without any issues .something you are doing wrong

[dougla_boy]

passwords are different....so u would have to def check wit the IT experts from that are where the school is located to get the password....

sorry if my english bad....i am drunk

Take out the hard drive and try your installation with it in another computer.

didnt try that...would the default drivers loaded on that installation differ from the laptop's? if not then i'll try it and i'll let you know how it goes

[make meh care]

before i start do you have a bootable flash drive with the operating system to load ???

X2

was now gonna suggest this. take out the hard drive and re-install windows on it using another computer.....easiest way is to use a 2.5" HD enclosure.

[make meh care]

also you may need to use the fn key together with the f9 key for the boot menu to show

[stev]

before i start do you have a bootable flash drive with the operating system to load ???

wont matter, the only device the laptop is allowed to boot is the hard drive...


I had the same problem with a HP laptop in work....previous sys admin set a BIOS password and no one knew what it was. lol

could not change boot options...could not get into safe mode...couldn't even launch a dam command prompt. lol

not sure if OP's situation is the same.

[HSA]

before i start do you have a bootable flash drive with the operating system to load ???

yes i do.....i've used it many times before...my issue is for the pc to recgonise the internal or external dvd or usb...its not....i cannot access dos because the windows on the hdd is corupt and wont go beyond the windows logo and restarts...safe mode wouldnt load either so i am stumped..i will try installing the os on another pc using the same hdd...lets see how that goes

Install the most recent windows 7 you can find. If you check online you can even find some versions with extra drivers preloaded. You have a high chance of getting the install to work.

[HSA]

not home atm....will post results when i return

[stev]

it shouldnt be a major problem if some drivers got installed by default from the computer you using to do the install...you can add / remove them individually from device manager afterwards.

just to be on the safe side you should manually download the network, display and chipset drivers from HP then remove / install them on top of whats already there after the install.

That is one bogus story, that laptop model was given out in 2012.
just say you get a gov student laptop to work on
and need the password to set it to boot from USB.
the passwords are different for every school
only known to the tech who working at the school
and the MOE IT dept.
other than that try the above mentioned method.
nb-but mind you if the laptop is stolen you can be at a risk working on it eh just don't connect it to the net
and
nb 2 - software tampering is a no-no on them thing
