    Try holding the power button for 30seconds. This might reset the BIOS settings. If this doesnt work the your gonna have to remove the CMOS battery inside the laptop. You will have to go through the HP service manual and figure out where it is.

    On a hp dv2000 theres a special compartment for it which can easily be accessed from the bottom fo the laptop
