Thank you in advance for any help

For this information you have to contact HP.

Contact HP and they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

When talking to the HP rep ask them to escalate your service request.

Or download these files.

Insert clean USB flash drive.

Then run USB Image tool.

Choose the flash drive then click on RESTORE.

After restore remove flash drive.

Insert flash drive into locked laptop and boot. ”If HDD is installed remove before booting.”

At C:\OUTPUT   type CD..  “Then hit enter”

Type HPBR   “Then hit enter”

First thing is to save your settings.

Select #3 re-program.

Press “S” to save system information.

Type HPBR and hit enter.

Since your model is not listed select “SHOTGUN.”

After reboot repeat “SHOTGUN” a second time.

Hi!, @vimprd:

Welcome, to HP Forum !. 

Try for three times, in each case, with random character's, similar to ...

Hewlett-Packard	5 decimal digits	12345
Hewlett-Packard/Compaq Netbooks	10 characters	CNU1234ABC
Insyde H20 (generic)	8 decimal digits	03133610

After, copy or write in Code, the resultant character's. Then press, Get Password and the Code resultant, is the correct, to write for access BIOS, from ... https://bios-pw.org

laptop is nice but wants to access the password too many times more cash than the price of a laptop.
  Perhaps today nothing is free, so I went to this forum

Thank you all for your help, I'm feeling once more to contact HP support if does not work, I'll try to further your help.
