I would have to recommend you contact Compaq. For security reasons, many laptops won't easily (if at all) allow you to clear a BIOS password. I know several manufacturers will reset it (for a fee with proof of ownership). I know it's a hassle...but before I tried anything I'd at least speak to Compaq.

Pull the bios battery if you can get to it without damaging the laptop (Sometimes they are soldered on). Be warned that this will reset the bios to the default settings.
