The only way I know to reset or clear the password is to know the original one. BIOS passwords are stored in Flash memory and therefore cannot be cleared by removing the CMOS battery like in the good old days.

I'm assuming your using Windows 10. Look at the keyboard. On the top row of buttons, just above the numbers, there are a series of 'f' number buttons. Check button f12. It should have a small light on it. White means the wifi is turned on, orange means it is turned off. press the button to switch it on and off. The laptop uses the term "Airplane Mode". If this doesn't work you will need to check your WiFi network is listed on the laptop. Go into 'Settings' and go to the 'Network & Internet' settings. Go to the WiFi settings button listed on the left of the screen. You should see your network listed. If you cannot see it listed go to "see available networks" and click your network. It will ask for your security Code to be able to connect.

It sounds as if your laptop is overheating. You need to service the cooling system by clearing any dust and debris from it and also applying fresh thermal paste.

did you change OS> did change the OS since bought new? no OS stated, why does not one person here say what OS is there.???? its half the system. that. it came new with Linux or windows XP to Windows 8.1 in 32bit and 64bit versions (click control panen, click system) behold the true OS name and version before your eyes. its like saying my FORD died, and no model, gee a Model "A:? here are some facts, most times. dead USB is this. you changed the OS and failed to use the HP driver at HP.com now 1 usb chip works and the other does notl my Elitebook does that, I upgraded to W10 (with zero HP support on purpose) then USB 3 ports went dead, so had to ID the chip its a NEC chip the Intel inside is USB2 only. then the NEC web site had my chip driver. and now those ports work. See how not saying your OS makes help so hard, this is my example. first test the ports only with a test mouse (test all ports now) think small think simple and a mouse is that. does that fail, i can think of 100s of USB devices that will fail hard in w10, all old things why not tell the helper what you plugged in. and be web connected are you.? tell if DM device manager shows any errors at all? did you first use device manager, to see that device fail plugged in? and then right click it and pick update this driver. or did DM shows all USB ports dead.? it just 2 clicks to get there. then it fails, if yes, then MS does not have the driver, we can go to MS right now and prove that. if i get the HARDWARE IDs out of your Device manager page and look in the MS data base i can see if it is supported. case in point old web cams not. old USB wifi dongles not. and more 100s not and 100s yes. that is how it works and goes. now lets got HP.com and look first there, they made it , NOT MS. lets say you said w8.1-64bit OS and i show. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-probook-4730s-notebook-pc/5060893 load all the 4 lines of drivers there. there are 3 paths here get the drivers from HP. get them from MS, automatically PnP or manually (ask now manually) get them from the USB chip maker, intel or whomever. if the USB chip really is dead, and the HP driver fails. (I bet not) then get the hardware IDs. tell me that and will fetch them for you easy. its really easy if you know how,and all ways how. if this shows errors , anywhere here, the driver for these chips are wrong.! if you learn how to get the Hardware IDs its 10x more easy.

Disconnect power adapter. Remove the battery hold down power button 10 seconds plug in Power adapter press Power on

Hi, It is because of keyboard layout . I think it must be set to different language. I would suggest you to try changing the input method :

To add a keyboard layout for a language

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then clickSearch.)
2. Enter language, choose Settings, and then tap or click Add a language.
3. Choose the language that you want to add a keyboard layout to, tap or click Options next to the language name, and then tap or click Add an input method.
4. Browse the input method list or use the search box to look for the keyboard layout you want to use.
5. Double-tap or double-click the keyboard layout, and then tap or click Save.

To make a keyboard your default keyboard

To set a keyboard as your default keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then clickSearch.)
2. Enter language, choose Settings, and then tap or click Add a language.
3. Tap or click Advanced settings.
4. Under Override for default input method, choose the keyboard layout you'd like to be your default keyboard, and then tap or click Save.

Thats for Win 8, I am not sure about you OS. Try the above if the issue persists please let me know what is the OS ? Are you getting any other language or its just the issue with symbols. If you have any video please attach so that I can help you better.

you will have to connect the hard disk to another computer and convert "dynamic" partition to "basic" partition. beware that you will loos all info

Somewhere in your computer is a battery reboot mode.. Look in control panel for battery options! That's all I got for ya!

check on the device manger the status of usb sometimes if they are disabled then also the storage device won't work

Try and external keyboard and mouse. If they work then re-install keyboard and mouse drivers by removing then first and let the OS do it. If this doesn't work your pc might be infected. Try to clean it or save data and re-install OS, that is if the external keyboard and mouse work. If not then it is a hardware problem.

it must come built-in if you have it. You will need to look in the Device Manager to see if you have it, and if the Device Driver is properly installed. If it is, then you can turn it on and use it. Go to the HP support site and download the User Manual for your exact model laptop.
