To prevent others from changing your BIOS settings, set up an administrator password in UEFI BIOS. Turn on the computer, and then immediately press f10 until the BIOS menu is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the Security tab, and then select Setup BIOS Administrator Password. Type your BIOS administrator password, and then press enter .
Just to note, if you do intend to go the HP route, don't try removing the rtc battery. It won't remove the password, but it will reset the clock - as smc files are time coded, a large disparity between the system clock and the time encoded in the smc will cause it to fail. Regards, DP-K
