there should be a bios reset pin on your computer motherboard. It is usually located near the bios chip itself. You will have to change the setting to reset the password by moving it to the right pins. You might want to look up the motherboard specs first before you do this but it is the cmos password. Another option if you just wanted to do this is to go and take out the battery that is located in the machine..make sure no power cords are plugged in...then put it back in after a minute..that will reset the bios as well.
