Trying to get into BIOS and I'm blocked by an unknown password. No password generator I've tried has been able to do anything with my code and no luck resetting the CMOS chip either (nonvolatile, I'm assuming). I've seen a few people get results here with this type of code, so I figured I'd try my luck. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no such thing as a BIOS master password.
I wish we could help you, but sorry, due to changes in Community policy, we are no longer able to provide any assistance with password reset or recovery issues.
Also please note that now, to resolve a forgotten BIOS or power-on password issue, since that password is embedded into the firmware of the system board, to replace that, a system board replacement is required -- and additional customer costs apply - which you have to pay for. HP has issued this post about BIOS passwords: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06368824.
In addition, according to the Community's Rules of Participation:
4d. No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to bypass or subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms, fingerprint scans, etc., or to bypass any safety measures.
For assistance NOW, you have to contact your regional HP Customer Support location directly as they will confirm ownership of the PC before providing any assistance -- something we are not able to do from here.
