Hello,
I am unable to login to my BIOS page as I forgot my password. I request you to provide me SMC.bin file to erase the old password.
Thanks in advance.

You should have written it down -- as HP does not provide those files anymore.
HP also does not reset BIOS passwords.
For BIOS or power-on password resets, because the password is encoded onto a chip on the motherboard, replacement of that motherboard is required. HP does not reset the BIOS password on the current motherboard.
If you are not prepared to spend the money to get HP to replace the motherboard, you would have to take the PC to a local repair facility to see if they can do it for you -- but we can not assist in that in any way.
I am a volunteer and I do not work for, nor represent, HP
