I wish I could have tested it first but you can still try the Shotgun method.
Your options are.
Contact HP. http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/contact_us.html
Or download these files. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zu4kdgxm052l87d/AAAMi-kfX4AVH8oTCbsOM4X9a?dl=0
Insert clean USB flash drive.
Then run USB Image tool.
Choose the flash drive then click on RESTORE.
After restore remove flash drive.
Insert flash drive into locked laptop and boot. "If HDD is installed remove before booting."
At C:\OUTPUT type CD.. "Then hit enter"
Type HPBR "Then hit enter"
First thing is to save your settings.
Select #3 re-program.
Press "S" to save system information.
Type HPBR and hit enter.
Since your model is not listed select "SHOTGUN."
After reboot repeat "SHOTGUN" a second time.
Let me know the result so I can update my list.
Some instructions here. "If you cannot boot from USB there are instructions to make a bootable HDD." http://mazzifsoftware.blogspot.com/2014/01/hp-bios-unlock-for-dos.html
