Product: HP Elitebook 840 G9

Hi,
my brother was using my pc and he accidentally changed my BIOS password (we are both pc lovers and we like to play around with the settings and OSs). I have na Elitebook 849 G9 and I'm using Fedora Silverblue but I have access to windows 10 on my external drive if needed.
I'd like to know how to reset it or change it.
Thank you in advance,

Tomaz
