Need to crack bios admin password!!
Hey guys I am having a bit of trouble getting into the bios of my zv5000. Some knuckle head at a repair shop thought it was a good idea to change the admin password to access the system bios. I have been trying for weeks to install OSX on this baby via USB Flash, but I cannot access the bios to allow for booting natively from USB. Thus I am forced to boot from Chameleon boot disk to access the flash drive. That works very well to get the system up to load OSX, but I cannot see the internal IDE drive to be able to load the OS on to it.
I have tried all the backdoor passwords from HP to unlock the bios, but to no avail, so I am asking you guys to see if anyone has an idea as to how to crack this egg. Oh by the way removing the battery does not reset the bios, so that idea is out completely. Thanks so much OS : Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 CPU : AMD Athlon II X4 645, 3.11 GHz RAM : 4GB Crucial PC3/16000 DDR3 GPU : nVidia Geforce 210 1 Gig Full Hardware Acceleration Sound : Onboard Audio Realtek ALC887 LAN: Sonnet Gigabit PCIe Ethernet Controller Monitor : Acer S231HL 24" Wide Screen 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Htz USB: Keyboard/Microsoft Confort Curve 2000 - Mouse/Logitech M185 Bluetooth: Apple Magic Tracpad/ DLink DBT 122 Bluetooth Dongle |
