The BIOS password for this laptop is on a chip (non-volatile memory) so it’s almost impossible to reset. The BIOS needs to be flashed (off board flashing). That means the IC will have to desoldered and then reprogrammed with a clean BIOS file. You want to be careful with removing the RTC battery. It will not remove the password but it will reset the clock. Since the SMC files (System Management Controller within your computer's BIOS) are time coded, a large difference between those times can cause your BIOS to completely fail. That means you will definitely have to reflash it :-)

The only other thing to do would be to contact HP for some assistance or use one of the many commercial sites that say they can remove the BIOS password if you send them the Halt code (that is a 8 digit code you get when you hit enter 3 times while at the password screen)
