Recover BIOS password of HP Pavilion 14 G1 laptop

Question

I have a client who has given me a laptop which has an administrator password at startup, so I can't get into the BIOS. My client doesn't remember the password and needs his computer. I already tried to remove the CMOS battery and effectively when I start it tells me that the BIOS has been reset, but when I press Enter to reboot it once again asks me for the password. I also couldn't find the backup password on the internet. Is there any way to reset this password?

Edit:

Following this thread i tried to short circuit two pins but it seems the datasheets i found for the bios chip isn´t the right one. Here is the data sheet i found. I tried to short circuit pins 4 & 5 and 5 & 6 but nothing happened. The picture shows the chip i found The description on the chip i guess would be winbond 25Q64FVSIQ 1647 I would appreciate any thougts arround this matter.

enter the wrong password 3 times, if it output's a code post it in the comments. — Moab, Apr 24 '20 at 02:13
Try 64681508, if it works save this as it is the master password for that specific laptop — Moab, Apr 24 '20 at 11:39
it didn´t work either. I have tried literally more than a hundred master passwords — madcoderz, Apr 24 '20 at 19:45
I thought that, so you are out of luck on recovering the password as I posted below. Has the client contacted HP Support? — John, Apr 24 '20 at 23:32
i´ll be calling him next monday to tell him the bad news. I didn´t give him so much hope though. — madcoderz, Apr 25 '20 at 01:17

There is no way to reset this power-on password. Modern machines prevent this. The client might possibly succeed calling HP Support - that is about all the client can do. Otherwise there is no solution.
