Hello @pcrepairshop,
Unfortunately, there are no code generators for these Codes
This works on a different Algorithm.
And normal code generators cannot provide the reset code.
Please Contact HP Notebook support 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.
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again !!
