    I've got a new HP probook from my company, but cannot use for anything other than work. I cannot install anything, cannot even update the Mozilla browser, it is terrible. I want to fix it and I thought I can do with installing a new hard disk and do a new windows installation. However the system bios also have administration lock like the installed Windows and not sure what can I do with that. Can I reset the bios by taking out the motherboard battery?

    That password is probably there for a reason ;) The forum rules anyways say we don't do the naughty stuff here.
