elitebook 855g8
Microsoft Windows 11

I bought an elitebook 855 secondhand. 
I was not satisfied with the windows 11 installed on it and I wanted to roll back to factory settings via bios or install a more familiar windows 10.
But when I turned to the Bios, I was surprised that there is a password there and now I can't get into the bios to reinstall Windows. I bought a laptop via Facebook a few months ago and I can't find or remember who exactly I bought it from.
What should I do now and how can I remove the password from the Bios and is it possible?
