Hi, @Gurdip_Singh

No HP consumer or business desktop PC generates a system disabled code.

Most of them have a clear password jumper on the motherboard that allows a user to clear the BIOS P/W.

See the link below under the I/O Ports and Jumpers section for your model's motherboard for how to clear the BIOS P/W.

To clear the P/W, you would shut down and unplug the PC.

Remove the jumper from the Password header.

Plug in and turn on the PC.

The BIOS P/W should now be cleared.

Shut down and unplug the PC.

Replace the jumper from whence it came.

Plug in and turn on the PC.
