ZE4600 Bios Password
Hi,
I had a password on a ZE4600 Hp laptop that I I wanted to clear, so I entered the BIOS and tried to clear the password by entering the current password and leaving the new password blank (in 2 fields) by hitting the enter key twice. Next boot it asked for a password! Now I can't get in even using the old password! I did some research before I came to this site, and it appears this happened to a few others on this model as well. Must be a BIOS flaw or something. I suspect pressing the enter key in the blanks registers some keystroke I can't reproduce. Although I've done this on several computers in the past with success, I probably will just leave the new password fields blank without pressing the enter key in the future!!
Anyway, the model is HP ZE4600 and the hash code is 12152
I tried using unlock6, but none of the codes worked for this model.
For anyone interested, to get the hash code on the the ZE4600, you must press F2 and F12 at the same time (must do it before it prompts for a password).
I would appreciate someone generating a password for me, and/or telling me where I can get the proper hash code generator for this model.
Thank you so much!
