Check your motherboard manual for a CMOS reset jumper on the motherboard. Turn the computer off, move the jumper to the re-set postion for a few seconds, replace the jumper from whence it came and re-boot. This will set the BIOS to its defauult state with no password. You will probably get a CMOS Checksum error when you re-boot but this is normal. Reset the CMOS setting to optinal defaults and any other settings you need, save and re-boot.

If you cannot find the jumper, remove the battery and leave it out for about twenty minutes with the power of and power cord disconnected. This will do the same thing.

Check your manual on the correct procedure.

Normally you can enter the password and then enter the BIOS CMOS Setup. Go to the section for setting the password and change it to no password.

If you change it to something else, make sure you write it down some where. Some of the laptops do not allow you to remove the boot password if you forget what it is. On these, it takes replacing a custom chip on the system board by a dealer, and they require the original receipt as proof of ownership.
