    Is there a way to change my BIOS settings on an HP ZV6170CA? I've looked around and found that some manufacturers block them to keep users from changing settings that might mess up our computers. I also found that there's programs that reveal those settings but I can't find any for my BIOS...I've found ones for AMI BIOS, but I'm not sure what mine is...Is that referring to the title your computer shows when you've entered BIOS? Because mine says "PhoenixBIOS".

    Thanks in advance guys :D

    I don't know of anyone who has found how to unlock the BIOS. For your specific laptop you may go here but I haven't found anything relevant.
