Hi,
Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer notebooks and there are no 3rd party utilities that will work for this particular Model.
If you Contact HP Business support they may be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.
Regards,
