Hp got rid of jumper after g5 onward
Probably still has a couple solder pads that can be jumped, even if the jumper pins weren't soldered on?
No, you need to either replace the motherboard or aquire a blob file from HP to unlock the motherboard to get rid of the password.
Its a security thing according to HP.

I've had success using it for locked hp and lenovo laptops, maybe it will work for desktops too?
There's a more info link in the repo that explains the process
