I don't have the BIOS password for my system. I was hoping to pull the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS but I can't seem to locate it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

There is no RTC (CMOS) battery as the internal battery provides this "energy". Anyway, it would not have helped anyway to remove BIOS password. You will need to get in contact with HP support directly to get help. You can identify your product in the link below and get contact options.
