Sorry but flashing the BIOS will not work to remove the password.

 

The program that I have to clear the BIOS password will not work on any ProBook or EliteBook that the model number ends with 70, your model is 8470p.

 

 

For that model you will need to contact HP in your region 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.
