I have tried restarting loads of times and still no luck. I'm given the option to enter my password but it won't accept that either.
I have tried a power down by taking out the battery, waiting and then putting it back in and restarting but that hasn't worked either.
Any ideas??

Welcome to the HP Forums,
We'll be with you until it's all sorted.
Many HP computers include a feature to recover the last working BIOS version. If this recovery method fails, use another working computer to create a BIOS recovery flash drive to install the latest BIOS file.
FOR DETAILS & FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, USE THIS LINK: CLICK HERE & ATTEMPT THE SOLUTION TO RECOVER YOUR BIOS.
(By the end of this article all the issues should be resolved)
Keep me posted, as I (Or a trusted colleague) shall follow-up on this case to ensure the concern has been addressed,
And your device is up and running again, only in case you don't get back to us, first!
that said, If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,
that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Good Luck.

Will I be able to recover my personal files from my laptop?
Can't believe a standard BIOS update has caused this issue
