Sorry I wasn't more clear in my earlier post. If you have enabled a password on your system within Windows, then what I've posted about the bios will do you no good.
However, if you have enabled a password in your bios, then it can be easily reset. On your motherboard, there will be a battery - usually about the size and shape of a nickel - in a clip attached to the board. By removing this battery, you wipe the bios memory of any password or changes to the default settings. Let the system sit without the battery for thirty seconds or so, then reinstall it and restart your computer. The bios settings will be returned to the defaults and the password will be gone.

Remember to ground yourself on the computer chassis while working around the motherboard. Good luck.
