Hello!
How can we reset the password on an out of warranty notebook?
We can provide any purchase documents about the notebook, if it'll needs.

You can't!
For BIOS or power-on password resets, because the password is encoded onto a chip on the motherboard, replacement of that motherboard is required. For more information, read this HP thread: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06368824.
If you are not prepared to spend the money to get HP to replace the motherboard, you would have to take the PC to a local repair facility to see if they can do it for you -- we can not assist in that in any way.
I am a volunteer and I do not work for, nor represent, HP
