How to Hide an HP Serial Number
- 1). Peel the serial number sticker off the device. The sticker typically says "Serial number" or "SN" on it.
- 2). Color over the number with a permanent black marker or scratch it off entirely with your fingernails.
- 3). Place a sticker over the serial number. While less permanent than other options, you can clearly tell if the sticker has been tampered with. You can remove the sticker when you don't want to hide the serial number anymore.
