This error appears to have happened because BitLocker turned itself on encrypting my hard drive. Even though I turned BitLocker off, it still is preventing this update.
I entered the BIOS setup by pressing F10 continuously.
I chose to update BIOS via HP website.
It suspended BitLocker (which has never actually been turned on by me) and did not ask for a password.
It updated BIOS to version 2.16.
Computer now boots normally. I suspect it will happen again during an update.
I was not able to update BIOS using HPBIOSUPDREC utility, or install SoftPac Download Manager.
