Windows 10: BIOS CMOS ISSUE I think is what it said!?

I bought a HP Pavilion Laptop from a friend of a friend. He told me at the time that he wiped it so all i needed to do was reinstall windows10 on it. I bought the software but was not able to put window 10 on laptop because an error stated that the storage driver was missing. I was finally able to use a friend computer to download the storage drivers from HP. When turning on computer it asks for administrator password or power-on password. A few months back when i originally bought laptop the admin password was not required. So im not sure why it wants it now. Ive had to install operating syst
