You should have written it down!  Why? Because the BIOS password is encoded into the firmware of the PC and no one can NOW, access it or change it for you, including us.  You would have to pay a fortune to have the motherboard completely replaced and then, you would have to pay more money to reinstall Windows since the HP license rests with the motherboard, not the PC owner.
