If you have an HP computer, either it is a desktop, laptop, netbook or ultrabook, it is indeed a huge problem is you forgot your computer’s BIOS password or Hard Disk Drive (HDD) password. The BIOS is password-protected for the purpose of restricting changes in your BIOS settings. On the other hand, the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is password protected to prevent the computer from being used by anyone except the owner who created the HDD password.
Even though the purpose of protecting the computer BIOS or HDD with a password is technically valid – that is, for security purposes, it is absolutely a headache when you forget your BIOS or HDD password. If the BIOS password is forgotten, you can still use the computer but you cannot access your BIOS to make changes in your hardware settings. If the HDD password is forgotten, in most cases, you cannot use the computer anymore because the very first thing that you see on screen is the password prompt to unlock the HDD. When the right password is not provided, the system will not be able to boot into Windows.
In this case, you need to really remember your BIOS or HDD password to resolve the problem. But if you really can’t remember the password no matter how hard you try, there is a solution.
