Default how remove password fm bios in hp laptop?

HP laptop, won't boot, corrupted system file, etc.
Hitting F2 goes to bios, but the password screen launches.
The owner does not recall setting a password and the
one she uses for all her other things doesn't work here.

So, how do you turn that off in a laptop so you can
get to the bios?
In a pc I know you can clear the bios with a jumper
pin, but I have no idea how to proceed with a laptop.

TIA

mike

Contact HP as DK said.

In PC we can clear the Bios with jumper settings. We can clear Bios in
another way also. Just take out battery of the mother board. After 3
to 4 seconds put the battery in it's place. This will also clear the
Bios.

it may work here, but i'm afarid to take the laptop apart looking for bios
battery. I took a couple of them apart in the past and couldn't get them
back together again.
