How can i change my BIOS password?
1
I have tried everything, backdoor passwords, flashing the bios and bios reset tools
made by my manufacturer (which is HP). All fail to work. I'm trying to install Kali Linux but I have secure boot on and it won't let me boot in the USB I made. if there are any ways around either of these, please let me know.

are you seriously suggesting that you flashed the BIOS and it still asks you for a password?

@barlop Probably UEFI, not BIOS, in which case yes, that happens. Passwords and Windows key are stored elsewhere and aren't deleted or reset even if flashed.

The OP needs to contact tech support.

@GabrielaGarcia This site does offer tech support. What do you think this site is doing?

@barlop It's implicit the manufacturer's (HP) tech support (and provide proof of ownership).
