Hi,

Welcome to the HP Community.

For BIOS administrator/password lock issues, Community members are not allowed to provide BIOS password removal, reset codes, master passwords, or bypass instructions.

Since this notebook was purchased second-hand, the best first step is to contact the seller and ask them to remove the BIOS password or provide proper ownership/service documentation.

If the seller cannot help, please contact HP Support or an HP Authorized Service Provider. They may require proof of ownership, and depending on the model, official service may be needed.

Please also do not post serial numbers or product-identifying information publicly. Share those only with HP Support through official private channels.

HP BIOS password information:
