Hp 255 g5 notebook pc

hello i have an HP 255 G5 requiring the bios password(ENTER ADMNISTRATOR PASSWORD OR POWER ON PASSWORD). I have checked with other steps like removing the cmos bateeries and utilizing the system Disabled code on bios password master page but unfortunately failed to unlock it. is there any way i can be able to unlock my pc please. It says System disabled

That is a Disable Code but we're not permitted to provide Disable Code bypasses anymore.

Passwords can NOT be recovered; instead, they have to be reset.

If your PC reset your password on you, we can not help in that because we have no access to either the original or the new password.

We are not permitted to assist in resetting passwords due to HP Policy.
--------------------
To reset Admin passwords, you have to contact your regional HP Customer Support location directly for assistance.

--------------------
BIOS and power-on passwords are contained in the firmware that is present inside the BIOS chips -- which are soldered to the motherboard and thus, are not replaceable. So, you can't just buy a replacement chip and swap them. Also, neither your nor HP can reset the BIOS password on the current motherboard. Thus, replacement of the motherboard is required with one that has a BIOS chip that does not have a password in the firmware. This is very expensive to do and can often cost more than simply replacing the PC

If you are not prepared to spend the money to get HP to replace the motherboard, you would have to take the PC to a local repair facility to see if they can do anything for you -- but we can not assist in that in any way.
