Just figure out what brand the bios is- award, etc., then google search for this: "bios backdoor passwords". there are many sites that list backdoor passwords for virtually every bios made.

Dude! look carefully on Mobo...you will find a 3 or 4 pin jumper that says CMOS recovery or somethin' like that.... just chang the pos. then boot it will tell you to shut down then return the jumper back to old pos.... there, now you have a working computer! simple fix!
