Product: Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 (680A2AV)

Hello,

I own an HP Victus laptop and I forgot the BIOS Administrator Password that I had previously set myself.

The issue is that when I press F9 to access the Boot Menu, the system asks me to enter the Administrator Password. I am unable to remember it.

I can still boot into and access Windows normally, and I have access to my laptop and files. However, I need access to the Boot Menu to boot from a USB device and install another operating system.

Could someone please guide me on the official HP procedure for recovering or resetting a forgotten BIOS Administrator Password for my HP Victus laptop?

 

Thank you.
