Hello @Billwase
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
HP computers does not have a default password and BIOS does not come locked by HP.
This is an old model and I suppose you may have purchased it second hand / refurbished or from some 3rd party person. Additionally, if new, somebody may have placed such a password on your PC to protect something (settings, data, etc).
Luckily, the BIOS can be unlocked. A TKB article existing on this matter - please, review it >> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Knowledge-Base/Forgotten-BIOS-or-power-on-password-HP-Commer...
Basically, you will have to contact HP Business Support for assistance on removing the password.
Here is how to reach to HP:

Hope this helps. Let me know if you face any obstacles.
