That second number looks like a corporate lan computer. Is this a second hand computer?

Those numbers are not much help here. If the computer is a Laptop you aren't going to do much with it.
If it is a Desktop then enter the BIOS (setup) and reset the passwords. If it is a desktop password then clear the CMOS to reset.

Your subject reads "Power On password", yet you ask how to reset the BIOS. Are you asking how to remove a BIOS password? Are you the registered owner of this computer?
