The manual for your motherboard will show the jumper to "Clear CMOS". Move the jumper pver and then put it back in it's original position while the machine is OFF. When you boot-up the password will no longer be required, but you will have to enter setup and choose "Load BIOS Defaults", save, exit and on the reboot you can put your settings back the way you had them.
