Hi:

 

See the service manual below, Appendix E, page 303, for how to clear the BIOS P/W.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04224518

 

If that doesn't work, then the stringent security option was set in the BIOS which prevents removing the green password jumper from clearing the BIOS P/W.

 

The only solution in that case would be to replace the motherboard with one without a BIOS P/W.
