Reset BIOS password for an HP Envy Ultrabook 4-1015dx

Restart your system and start taping F10 key and you may get an option to reset the password. 
Note: You may have to open your Laptop, which may void the system warranty.

If you don't remember your password then, follow the below mentioned steps to reset the BIOS password:
1.    Make sure laptop is turned off
2.    Unplug the laptop
3.    Remove the battery
4.    Open open the laptop case.
5.    Locate the CMOS battery 
6.    Disconnect the battery
7.    Let computer sit with no power for 30 mins
8.    Reconnect CMOS, close case, reattach battery & plug in.
9.    Reboot PC 
10.  You should be prompted that the Bios was reset

By removing all power to the board, you force it to forget the password. The only difference is where the BIOS/CMOS battery is located. Some are very accessible, located easily on back, other require removing the keyboards, etc.
