Request BIOS Password Reset for HP EliteBook 2570p

[Deep_Pandat]

Hello HP Support Team,

I recently started using an old HP EliteBook 2570p that had been lying unused for many years. When I tried accessing the BIOS settings, I discovered that a BIOS/Power-On password is set, and there is no way to recover it now.

I am learning IT and want to use this system for virtualization practice, which requires enabling certain BIOS features. Since the laptop is quite old and the password is unknown, I am unable to proceed.

Could you please guide me on how to reset or remove the BIOS password for this model, or what steps I should follow?
