I have an HP 6730b laptop with a BIOS password and Windows XP password. I do not need any of the content on the disk, I would just like to be able to reset everything and start again from scratch.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Edit: It appears that HP Credential Manager has been used to password the BIOS. This could be why none of the methods I have tried are working.
Answer
None of the answers above worked, but I did manage to restore it, this is what I did:
- Took the hard drive out and put it in the same model computer.
- Booted to the Windows XP install CD, and installed XP.
- Put the hard drive back into the original computer.
Voila! Of course, for this to work, you need another computer which is the same model. I was lucky enough to have one.
