I have tried the four solutions that are already in the community [ gboy, gvto, trqqegb, lwa] with no success. I get the disabled code 00234. Please help.

@Abuelo_opa You would have to Contact HP for a hardware service as the motherboard may require a Bios Flash.
 

Any other way of unlocking the BIOS is not authorized by HP.

And I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options:

follow the below steps to get started:

 

1) Click on this link - www.hp.com/contacthp/

2) Click on "Continue as guest".

3) Enter the serial of your device.

4) Select the country from the drop-down.

5) Click on "Show Options".

 

Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!

 

I hope that answers your query,  

If it did, simply select "Accept as solution", to help the community grow, 

And if you wish to thank us for our efforts, click on the thumbs up for kudos.

Have a great day ahead.
