I could not find one in the warehouse so I could not test this.
Contact HP and they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

When talking to the HP rep ask them to escalate your service request.
Or download these files.

Insert clean USB flash drive.
Then run USB Image tool.
Choose the flash drive then click on RESTORE.
After restore remove flash drive.
Insert flash drive into locked laptop and boot. ”If HDD is installed remove before booting.”
At C:\OUTPUT type CD.. “Then hit enter”
Type HPBR “Then hit enter”
First thing is to save your settings.
Select #3 re-program.
Press “S” to save system information.
Type HPBR and hit enter.
Since your model is not listed select “SHOTGUN.”
After reboot repeat “SHOTGUN” a second time.
Let me know the result so I can update my list.
Some instructions here. “If you cannot boot from USB there are instructions to make a bootable HDD.”

Since I cannot enter bios, I cannot configure boot from usb.
I have to contact HP, thank you for you help anyway, I´ll accept it for solution, maybe it will be useful for someone else who is in similar situation as I am.
Cheers

If you have an old SATA drive there are instructions to make a bootable HDD.
You would then just remove the old drive and install the HDD you create and boot that way.
