Go into the BIOS, under security.

If you think you are going to forget it.

Don't set it.

It might be against forum rules to post help about resetting BIOS
passwords.

So google.

The password can be bypassed on a Compaq Proline A 5133 by moving a jumper. on the board. The exact location can be found in the manual for the device. I downloaded the PDF file.
