(WARNING IF YOU HAVE ANY COUSTOM SETTINGS THIS METHOD WILL REVERT ALL CHANGES MADE) 1. Find the manual for your HP product, 2. Check for a button cell battery, 3. Remove the battery, 4. Allow for up to 10 seconds for the CMOS to reset, 5 reinsert the battery, 6 close the product, 7. Boot up and the should not be any password.

This is a LAPTOP -- removing the CMOS battery will do nothing to reset any passwords!
