@Gitongacliff,
At the C:\windows\system32 prompt, you need to use the cd command to show where bios config utility is located, then execute bios config utility with a syntax. If you are trying to change a bios setting, you can use the GetConfig:config.txt syntax. So, command lines at the prompt will be like this (click Enter after each line):
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Bios Configuration Utility
BiosConfigUtility64.exe/GetConfig:config.txt
If command prompt displays a message of a successful execution, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Bios Configuration Utility and click on it. You'll see config.txt there. Double click on it and all bios settings are seen in notepad. Now you can locate a setting you want to change. If you need more help, let me know.
