Hi @anas4pain
Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.
Most business class notebooks (including yours Probook and Elitebook) have better stronger security. Password cannot be removed here in the forum and you will have to contact HP Business Support for assistance on removing the password.
Here is how:

>> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/business-support.html
HP Business support should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file and instructions which you can use to reset the password. Note that assistance for such issues is usually free of charge for HP business class computers.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you face any difficulties.
