Hello,
Is your admin account a Microsoft Account?
If you no longer have any other accounts on the computer, what you can do instead is to enable the in-built Administrator of your computer, then create a new user with admin privileges instead.
To do this:
1. Press Shift key and restart
2. Click "Repair your Computer" on the bottom left side of the installation window.
3. You will be taken to the Windows Recovery Environment - select "Troubleshoot".
4. Then click "Advanced Options".
5. From there, click "Command Prompt".
6. The Command Prompt window will open, type the command:
net user Administrator /active:Yes
7. Press Enter, and you'll be told that the command was successfully initiated. Enter the command "Exit" to restart the computer.
If done correctly, you will see a new user "Administrator". This doesn't have any password, so you can easily access it.
You will be able to create a new user from there.
If you are using Microsoft account as administrator account follow the link below.

If it's the BIOS password:
Unfortunately, the HP support community does not allow us to help you with your BIOS password. The only solution is to contact HP and, if necessary, contact them several times to complete your case.

I recommend that you get on Contact HP from your country or region.
The only solution HP will propose is to replace the system board to solve the BIOS password problem requested at computer startup.
