HP SpareKey Recovery when booting up

[lm08]

I think my laptop updated recently so not sure if that has something to do with this. But, I shut my laptop down this morning, I booted it up later today and was greeted by this message.  "HP SpareKey Recovery Insert the USB Recovery Key"  I dont remember ever setting that up? How do I bypass this? Will i lose my data ?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Press and hold the Windows + V keys.

3. Still pressing those keys, press and hold the Power button on the computer for 2-3 seconds, and then release the Power button, but continue pressing and holding the Windows + V keys until the CMOS Reset screen displays or you hear beeping sounds.

   At the completion of a successful CMOS Reset, a message similar to the one below displays:

   

4. Press Enter to restart the computer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
