You can not reset the password unless you either know it, or you have PREVIOUSLY made a password reset disk (or USB stick).
We have no way to reset your password as we have no access to the computer.
I wish we could help you -- but we're not allowed to, since we have no way from here to verify ownership of any computer.
Therefore, according to the Community's Rules of Participation:

To get help resetting the password on your product, you have to Contact HP support in your region using the following link:
