A friend bought a refirbished  HP EliteBook 745 G6 notebook - ProductID: 9VZ61ES#ABH .

A BIOS password has been set by the previous owner, who is unknown.. Can someone advise how to reset the BIOS password of this specific notebook?

I read about using HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU), but I could not find whether this will wordt for this notebook.

Also I saw a YouTube video, in which a numeric code has been generated after three wrong password entries. With that code a new code could be obtained  to unlock the BIOS . However, this video did not concern this specific notebook. 

Booting the laptop with the Windows key + B pressed does not work. Removing the CMOS battery is no option. Replacing the motherboard is out of questoon.

For updating the BIOS I need the BIOS password.

Thanks in advance for help.
