HP Stream Asks for Admin Password in BIOS Setup

[Rondo70]

I had to remove the SSD recovery partition because updates in Windows 8.1 had maxed out the OS partition space (It would be nice if MS would get all of the bugs out of an OS before they market it so this would not happen.).  I used GParted and then formatted the SSD with Windows USB load and installed Windows 10 on the whole SSD drive.  That gave me about 8GB more space on SSD.

Today, I Just wanted to go into BIOS and set booting sequence, but BIOS demanded I enter Administrative password.  HUH?  When I had the HP issued 8.1 installed, that was not an issue and was never demanded.  I had already stopped MS from trying to update the SSD because it was way to small with the recovery partition in place.  That is the reason for the clean install of updated Windows 10.  I had no problems until I attempted to make a change in BIOS.  That is when it hit the fan.  What is the method of getting into the BIOS wihout my having any idea what the password is?

I checked with HP Assistant, and there is no listed update for BIOS.

Got it.  While you were answering.   I realized that I had not entered the generated password from https://bios-pw.org/  correctly.  It had failed before.  It works OK now.  Thank you for your prompt and courteous reply.
