From: trocin on 20 Mar 2005 07:11 Hi, How can i brake bios password in HP Omnibook 4150? System hash code 03954.os. Thanks Artur
From: kat on 26 Mar 2005 03:37 Hello I had the same problem with one I bought off Ebay. I hear from a customer with a similar unit that removing the regular battery and cmos battery will do the trick. I have seen a 3/8 in batt on the rear of the chassis near the LCD cable contact and the light array. It looks like a battery. It may require a cut and snip operation. I SHOULD have gotten a Thinkpad but I got the drives and a battery for free so I shouldn't complain. If you do try it solder carefully KAT trocin wrote: > Hi, > How can i brake bios password in HP Omnibook 4150? > System hash code 03954.os. > Thanks > Artur

Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 15:33:32 GMT I'd be absolutely shocked if removing the battery will reset the password. Not the main battery, but the tiny RTC/BIOS battery will reset the BIOS (Setup) back to stock (default) condition. As the BIOS settings including the password needs this battery to keep the password and the clock running. Disconnecting this battery, the memory won't last and it will just forget everything. Thus when you boot up the computer and the BIOS finds the stored memory is gone, it loads in the defaults.

I understood what you said, but I have not seen a laptop since a mid 1990's Compaq 486 that didn't store it's passwords in a flash EEROM, which is non-volatile, and which will not be cleared by removing any battery. That's even true for my Zenith 386 Z-Note's from about 1992. I think you are being fed some bum information.
