I have a laptop HP 17-x115dx laptop that is asking for an 'Administrator Password or Power On Password' after flashing/updating the BIOS. After 3 invalid password entries, I receive a System Disabled message with [I 59493696]
I assume this is a hash key for some back door algorithm, but it begins with 'i' and so bios-pw.org is no help. I should've known better than to update BIOS via HP site, but I was worried about the Spectre/Meltdown issues.
Can you please help? I can't get into BIOS or boot my laptop. Serial number is 8CG6444JB2 if that helps.
Thank you in advance.
