Don't know about resetting it, but there is a utility posted here

Keep in mind that many laptops require a special utility to modify the BIOS password.
This is a security feature to make a stolen laptop less valuable.

Easiest way would be to just crack open the case and pull the C-Mos battery from the mother board. Leave it out for about 5 hours or over-night then replace it. Job Done !

Don't be scared of opening your PC, you will always have to eventually.. Start now..

By the way, the battery will be about the size of a thumb nail and have 20-23 on it.

Good Luck.

There should be a jumper on your mother board that allows you to reset your BIOS. It's just a matter of moving the jumper from one place to another and then back to it's original position. Refer to your mother board manual or if that's not availableyou could probably get it off the internet via the manufacturer's web site.

if you know which bios is in your computer, you can sometimes clear the cmos while holding down certain keys, ami bios, hold down "pgup" while
booting. check with the vender of the bios if you
know.
you didn't say if this was a lap top or pc.
this works for pcs,I don't mess with lap tops.
