Hi ,
Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.
Most business class notebooks (including yours Elitebook and Probook) have better security. Password cannot be reset via forum means.
You will have to contact HP Support for assistance on removing the password.
Here is how >> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

HP Business support should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file and instructions which you can use to reset the password.
Hope this helps. Provide feedback and let me know if you face any issues.
