Thanks, I'll try that answer tomorrow morning. From what I know about computers I did think that was the answer but I wanted to find the procedural answer. HP assumes you will only need them and the Windows install it came with. One who owns it should be able to access or fix it back without jumping through too many hoops. Commentary: We shouldn't have to call the company from the South Pole long after the product is out of support.
Didn't have to do all that as I was able to login [to F10 BIOS Settings] as Guest with no password and then set a BIOS Administrator password which gave me immediate access to all of the settings. I then Reset Security Settings To Factory Defaults--which removed all of the problem. Mine was that security had been setup but with no Administrator so all of the BIOS Settings were greyed out. I suppose removing the battery would come up with the same results.
