Newer laptops are protected from theft by making BIOS password reset difficult.  HP's are no different.  HP states you must contact a dealer to reset the BIUOS password.  See this link for reference: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00375284

Still, there are some resources available.  Check these links:
