Locked out of laptop due to SimplePass

[TinyReborn]

My HP Computer does automatic software updates upon shut down.   When I tried to login today the screen allows me to put in my password then pops up a screen that SimplePass wants to Confirm Windows Password.  It then has a place to enter New Password and Confirm New Password.   When I enter a password I get the message SimplePass cannot validate the password that you entered.   Check password and try again.   I do.   When I click on Forgot Password nothing happens.   I cannot get to anything except the power icon.   

There is information on google about SimplePass being biometric fingerprint.   I do not have a biometric finger scanner on my laptop.   Help
