hi gydave .
.well i couldnt figure out did u forget the password or was it disabled by the administrator ...well in case if u did forget it ..first switch off the computer and remove all power cables, your computer shouldnt be connected to any power source in any which way ..u will need a screw driver to open ur cpu cabinet and in there u will see a CMOS battery ....something like a big button cell (flat,circular,mettalic) ...it might be mounted horizontally or it might be mounted vertically depending on the motherboard ...u can remove the battery by a simple flick..the battery would come out easily or it might be fastened by some hinges .....remove the CMOS battery for about 120 seconds and place it back again the way it was put in .....restart the comp. try entering the bios ...the bios will give a warning stating all cmos settings not found ....u need to set the bios settings to default configuration settings ...system will now boot without bios password ....(P.S. DO THIS IF AND ONLY IF U KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND MOTHERBOARDS AND CPU CABINETS)
there is another solution around this ..there are several bios password cracking softwares ....but since these manipulate the bios i would advice "extreme caution" while using any software ....
