Did you follow the directions at bottom of page? Although the printed directions seems to conflict with the photo of jumper pin. I would follow photo. Wait 10 seconds before replacing to default pins.

Hi, @Manikandank :
The written instructions for clearing the BIOS password are incorrect on a few HP consumer desktop model series.
I reported this matter to HP last year and I guess they missed correcting this one.
I have modified the instructions below...
- Turn OFF and unplug the computer.
- Move the jumper pins from 2-4 (default) to pins 4-6.
- Plug in and power on the computer. The BIOS password should now be cleared.
- Turn OFF and unplug the computer.
- Then move the jumper back to its default position (2-4).
- Plug in and turn ON the computer.
