We have a number of ZBook 14 laptops. Recently two users upon reboot accepted the on-line BIOS update being offered. The BIOS was updated to version 01.44. After this, upon restart a password is required: needless to say, we had no BIOS password set.
Entering no password results in the message 'BIOS Manager password required' and the laptop is locked. The only way forward is to reboot, and the story repeats.
Anybody who has seen the same and could suggest a solution?
Regards, Giuseppe

Unfortunately, I have seen this reported by members on occasion. It is beyond the scope of help we can give on the forum.You will have to contact HP for help with it.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
