This SMC.bin will work on these UUID’s: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

SMC command failure reasons

Wrong UUID  is provided

Try different brand and smaller size USB key

USB key is not formatted FAT32

Make sure use USB 2.0 port not USB 3.0 port

BIOS , date and time should be current and updated.

Use hard drive method by using HP_TOOL partition ,if there is no HP_ tools partition,  can be created one by the following link below.

1.Once HP sends you the SMC.bin file format a USB thumb drive to fat32.  I used an 8GB Lexar drive without any issues.

2. Hold the Windows and Up/Down arrows down and press the power button.

3. Continuing to hold the windows / up / down arrows let the HP logo display for about 5 seconds then release and press f10.

4. After a few seconds the BIOS window will display and it will say "SMC command handled successfully"

5. Press the enter key and you will enter the BIOS.

6. Choose "Reset Bios security to factory default"

7. Say "Yes" to confirm changes

8. Save changes and exit the BIOS.

The first attempt I still had the admin password so I tried it again and it cleared.  The system is now back into production and all is well.   Good luck to those struggling with this.
