Expect if you can 'reset' the EEPROM that contains the values, you reset the bios settings to it's default settings.

Page 72 ( titled :Resetting the Setup and Power-on passwords) of the following manual explains how to do this from what I'm understanding.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06325773

 

Same manual page 96: questions: #6: "How can the BIOS security be reset to factory defaults and data erased?"

But expect you need to perform page 72 and that these steps would not actually reset the password of your bios.
