At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.

@DavidPK when i tried to reset it with c mos the only thing that was changed was the date and it states

Hi,

In that case, I'm guessing that this is a  business class machines such as a Probook or Elitebook. 

If that's correct, these notebooks have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.

If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.
