@deepswan,
Unfortunately, as your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory ( ie removing the RTC battery will have no effect ) and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.
Regards,

We have an HP 2000 that uses Windows8. My daughter set it up in a hurry and cannot remember the password she set. We have entered everything we can think of, but nothing works. We have not had a lockout code.
