Hi,
At the password screen, hit enter 3 times.
If you receive a 8 digit 'halt code', post back with this code.
If you don't receive a halt code, you will have to Contact HP Business support - they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.
Regards,
DP-K

Hi,
Unfortunately, there are no 3rd party utilities available for your particular Model, the only method to remove a forgotten password is to use a smc file. This can only be supplied by HP Business Support as it's customised for your individual machine ( serial no, uuid etc ) - it is also time dependent.
You can contact HP Business Support in your country via
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
or
https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp
The only other option, would be to replace the bios chip - an example would be from the retailer on the link below.
