You can always do a clean install from scratch. HP might have a Cloud Recovery download to use so you get exactly the drivers they intended. You can then use Windows Update to upgrade from that install.  Sometimes HP has one download for W10 and another for W11 for a particular product.

 

Note that this has nothing to do with recovering your Windows password and certainly will not help you if there are BIOS or other deep passwords entered in your firmware.
