HP dv2000 power on password Beep - driving me nuts!!!!

Hi All, long time reader first time poster, but I had to register to ask this question.

I've just bought a HP dv2660se from the States, and since i want to look after my new lappy i set a Power on Password today.

Now everytime i turn on my system, there is an LOUD beep as it prompts me for the password. its driving me nuts.

i've been looking for a solution on google and here for the last 2 hours to no avail. worst thing is now i CANNOT EVEN DISABLE the password, of course i know what the password is but there doesnt seem to be a setting in the BIOS to clear the Power On Password once it is set. pressing "Enter" on it just allows you to set a new password.

So thanks in advance to anyone who can help me, i will be eternally grateful to anyone who knows a solution. there must be other people out there who have had the same problem.

Cheers,

Vinny

 

there is go into the security tab and then reset or remove it

 

thanks for your reply but thats the thing... i cant

when i reset it to factory settings is clears all the settings EXCEPT the power on password.

when i press return on the "power on password" theres 3 options;

Enter Old Password
Enter New Password
Confirm New Password

besides hitting return on the "power on password" field or resetting the settings (F9 i think) there isnt anything else available.

 

Enter Old Password <--- enter your bios password.
Enter New Password <--- just press enter key , don't input anything.
Confirm New PAssword <--- just press enter key, don't input anything.

Then exit and save changes. Your password will be erased.
