I forgot the power on password ) administrator password (1 in the same ) the error code I'm getting is { 5**bleep**5637}. Any idea the code to bypass into BIOS ?

Sorry, but there is no code to bypass a power on password -- because if there was, there would be no point in having such passwords.
For BIOS or power-on password resets, because the password is encoded onto a chip on the motherboard, replacement of that motherboard is required. HP does not reset the BIOS password on the current motherboard.
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 -- but we can not assist in that in any way.
