Hello I have a problem,
I tried to reboot my laptop using a usb and when I chose the partitions they told me I can't install it on that partition because it might not be activated and then they asked me to check on the bios menu the controller of that disk. When I searched I found out to that I need access to advanced bios menu which is completely locked.
Please help me out I need my laptop working as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hi@Yahya011, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.
I understand that you are unable to log in since the Login Box does not show up.
I'd like to help.
I see that you have already attempted a System Restore which failed.
I appreciate you attempting these crucial troubleshooting steps.
Let's try restarting the Notebook in Safe Mode.
- Shut Down the Notebook. Upon restarting keep tapping the F11 key every one sec
- On the Choose an option screen, tap or click Troubleshoot.
- Tap or click Startup Settings. If you don't see Startup Settings, tap or click Advanced options, and then tap or click Startup Settings.
- Tap or click Restart, and then wait while your computer restarts.
- On the Startup Settings screen, choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt and restart.
- Copy and paste the below command and press Enter.
net user administrator /active: yes
- Close the Command Prompt.
- Try to login through Built-in Administrator and create a New User Account.
- Then restart your Notebook and try logging into the new Account
