The only way to do so is to reset the BIOS.
Method 1: Take the cover off the computer and remove the CMOS battery for about 10 seconds and then reinstall the battery and restart the computer. You then will need to reset all the BIOS data using the BIOS setup program.
Method 2: Take the cover off the computer and find the jumper marked BIOS Reset (or something similar). Change the jumper to the Reset position for about 10 seconds and then plavce the jumer back in the normal operatingposition. You then will need to reset all the BIOS data using the BIOS setup program.
The method you use will be dependant on the motherboard. It wiill help if you have the documentation for the motherboard as this probably has instructions foraccomplishing this procedure for your particular motherboard.

You didn't mention that it was a laptop. Please include all relevant information like this when asking a question so that we don't waste your time (and ours) with solutions that obviously won't work.
According the manual for your computer (foundon the Panasonic website), the solution for a lost BIOS password is to call Panasonic customer support. Unless someone with a Panasonic laptop, that has run into this problem before, is a contributor and reads this question, you are stuck with making the phone call.
Actually, it would be irresponsible to post a fix in this forum as the BIOS password is probably one of the best means of protecting data on a stolen laptop. That's why a quick fix isn't given in the manual or online at the Panasonic website.
Good luck.
