To enter the BIOS of the HP notebook, the steps are as follows:
1.BIOS shortcut entry: Most HP laptops can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing the F2 key when the computer is turned on. This process involves quickly pressing the F2 key when the "HP" symbol or other prompt appears on the screen after the computer is turned on. Some notebook models may use the F10, Del, or ESC keys as BIOS shortcuts, depending on the notebook model.
2.Enter from the system boot menu: If this does not work, try pressing the ESC key at boot, then selecting "BIOS SETUP" (or an option with similar wording) in the boot menu that appears, and then pressing the F10 key to enter the BIOS settings screen.
3.For some HP ProBook series laptops, you can try pressing the F9 key when booting up to enter the boot sequence selection interface, and then select Boot from USB flash drive.
After entering the BIOS settings, you can adjust the boot sequence, system boot device, hardware settings, etc. For example, to set up USB flash drive boot, you can follow these steps:
a.Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of your computer.
b.Go to the BIOS settings screen and find the "System Configuration" or "Boot Options" option.
c.In Boot Options, select the option where the USB flash drive is located and set it as the preferred boot device.
d.Save the BIOS settings and exit.
Note that different models of HP laptops may have different BIOS setup interfaces and options, so you should refer to the user manual or official ** guidance provided by the specific notebook when operating it.
In some cases, if you have forgotten your BIOS password, you can try the following methods to clear the password:
a.CMOS discharge: Find the coin cell battery on the motherboard, remove it carefully, then disconnect the power plug of the computer, use the metal sheet to short the spring blade on the battery base for about 30 seconds, and then replace the battery. This will cause the CMOS to lose its internally stored information, including the BIOS password, due to a power failure.
b.Jumper shorting: For some cases where the CMOS chip is integrated with the battery or the battery is soldered to the motherboard, it may be necessary to use the jumper shorting method. To do this, you need to open the case, find the corresponding jumper on the motherboard, and follow the instructions to short-circuit to clear the BIOS password.
