Product: HP Probook 4230s
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought second hand HP Probook 4230s with the issue of forgotten BIOS password. Any guide on how to reset its password? I tried doing the combination key (window button + B then power on) but is not working. If i reformat my laptop, does it reset its BIOS password?
