Tutorial request for starting up KILLCOMS.COM at start-up using USB stick.
A step-by-step tutorial would be greatly appreciated.Is this homework?I just need it to reset the BIOS of my HP 530 I had bought the other day in a garage sale.

Tried asking the original owner what the password word was  but he forgot it.

I tried removing the cmos battery, tried a bunch backdoor password, nothing worked.

Im just a noob hoping to get some assistance.

In order to re-set a BIOS password on any laptop you need to take it to a service center...in this case HP and have them do it...
Be prepared to show proof of ownership.

PS...KillCMOS ain't gonna work. Quote from: patio on February 08, 2012, 07:59:18 PM

If you have forgotten your CMOS password--there's no longer a need to worry! As long as you are able to boot from the floppy KILLCMOS will remove the password.
NOTE: If you're running anti-virus software, it may detect a Trojan virus in the killcmos file. This is a mistake. There is NO virus in this file.

In any case, should we be publishing advice on how to circumvent security and anti-theft measures? I've lost count of the "kids changed my cmos password" or "garage sale" type stories I've seen on here.
