Resetting my HP laptop

Since it is a new HP laptop and you want to reset it, instead of using the Windows 10 Reset, why not use the HP Factory Restore application, it should be located on your Start Menu - the alphabetical list - scroll down to the HP suite of apps and look
for recovery . . .

 

How to reset BIOS F.60 on HP Laptop 15-bs111ur?

A couple of months ago I updated BIOS of my HP Laptop 15-bs111ur on F.60. I am sure that I downloaded F.60 from the official website. Around the same time, after BIOS upgrading I started to hear loud fan noise. I performed many steps to fix it:

1. Updated all drivers;
   
2. Reinstalled Windows 10 Home Edition;
   
3. Used all tests from HP Support Assistant;
   
4. Thermal paste was replaced;
   
5. The fan was replaced (yes, I even installed a new fan for CPU).
   

Nothing helped.

Recently, I noticed, that F.60 version was gone from the list of versions supported for my bs-111ur. And now, obviously, I am pretty sure BIOS should be reset. I tried to reset BIOS with the following ways:

• Reset a laptop with a removable battery;
  
• Win+B+Power button: HP BIOS Update screen does not display;
  
• Reset the CMOS using Win+V+Power button: reset was successfully executed.
  However, BIOS is still F.60 version, and I am still can not reset it via "Win+B+Power button".
  
• Recover the BIOS using a USB recovery drive: HP BIOS Update does
  not display.
  

How I can reset BIOS? Or maybe there is some way to downgrade F.60 on F.52?

 

reset laptop password

i could not figure out what forum this should go in, so feel free to move to whatever forum it should be in.
a friend just called, and said he has 2 daughters and 2 dell laptops. his daughters have lost the password to both laptops. is there a way to reset the password without a full reformat? he said his daughters have a lot of music, pictures, ect. and wants to avoid reinstalling windows.
i know that a long time ago there was a jumper on the motherboard that would reset the password on a regular pc. is there such a jumper on a laptop? or is there any free software that would let him reset the passwords? he can not afford a dell tech to fix, and i told him i would see if there was a way to reset it without a format. thanks!
he called me from out of state and due to a bad connection i couldnt find out what model laptops they are. thanks again! sam
