15-ay039wm

I have an HP laptop, model 15-ay039wm.  Have forgotten the BIOS password, and am trying to clear it.  I've taken out the laptop battery and the BIOS battery and disconnected the harddrive... let it sit overnight.  The system still wants the BIOS password.  I have also tried entering a few codes I've found on the internet after getting the system disabled message, but no luck.  The System Disabled code I get is:  [I 67279489]  Any help is much appreciated!

If your halt code is actually prefixed with a 'i' as opposed to a 'I' let me know.
