This could be a bios password. If it is,
you can remove the motherboard battery for
a few minutes and the bios will reset to its'
factory defaults and forget the password.

A word of caution. If this is an older machine,
you may have to enter the hard drive info
(cylinders, heads, etc.) manually, if it doesn't
have "autodetect" for hard drives. If this is
the case, be sure to enter the correct info
(this is usually on the hard drive itself).

Cheers, Mac
