How do you reset the BIOS? OK, basic step would be to remove the CMOS BIOS battery. HP Probook 450 Closest I found that might be similar to your laptop. In the video you'll see a coin looking battery marked 2032. Remove this and wait a minute before placing it back in. This is the basics of a BIOS reset. Beyond that gets a little more techie. Hope this helps.
Make sure the laptop has no power, remove battery and push and hold the power button for 30 seconds.

The
most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to
physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug
and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard. Another
way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2
methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the
BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the
battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased. Hope this helps you
