Which, passwords are you referring to -- the Windows OS passwords or the BIOS passwords.
IF it is the BIOS passwords, then NO -- replacing the HD will NOT remove that password. You may need to contact HP and prove ownership for them to reset that password.

You need to be more specific as to WHICH passwords you forgot. The OS or the BIOS?

I installed windows 10 off of an email offer I received, not off of a disk, so I don't have a disk. Can I make a copy of the disk off of my other computer that I also upgraded to use? Or do I need to go buy windows 10?

And I think it's the bios from what I'm reading online about it.

Then no - replacing the HD will not reset your Windows password. How did you lock yourself out of your laptop with a BIOS password by simply upgrading your OS? Setting a BIOS passwords involves you having to go into your BIOS and setting it up.
Tell me what you see on the screen when you power-up. Take note of everything you see on the screen like BIOS version.
