I'm pretty sure fan curve is least important than accessing the BIOS altogether

What model HP is it. Try Del, ESC, F10. If you google the exact model and "BIOS access" you will most likely find the axact key your supposed to press. Also, when asking for help don't give lazy half answers or no one will be able to help you.
