This issue seems to be complicated. But if you have hardware knowledge then you won’t find this issue difficult. I don’t have much knowledge about such issues but I will try to help you as much as I can. To overcome this issue I would advise you to remove the battery on the motherboard and then restart the machine. After you restart your machine it won’t ask for any Bios password. This time it will provide direct access to your Laptop.

Thanks a lot for helping me by giving your suggestions to overcome my issue. As you said to remove the battery on the motherboard and then restart it. I tried it but nothing happened. There is a Bios administrator id and another id entered but the user and I don’t know how to overcome it. How can I reset password. Are you aware about any other solutions to solve this issue? If yes then please do the needful. I will be very grateful for your suggestions.

To reset the Bios password is not an easier task. But I will definitely try to make this task as easier as I can. To overcome this issue only one thing I can advice you is to install windows 7 over XP. It will reset the hard drive configuration to IDE from SATA in the Bios. After upgrading the OS to windows 7 there won’t be any Bios password. Restart you laptop after up-gradation this time it won’t ask for the Bios password. Try the up-gradation and your issue will be solved.

This issue is very difficult to overcome by new users. The user having hardware and software knowledge can easily solve it. As you are a new user I would recommend you an easier way to solve this issue. Take your laptop to the HP service center. Elaborate your issue to the supervisor present over there. He will assess your laptop. He will perform all the essential steps to reset you bios password. He won’t charge you for this service if your laptop warranty exists.
