Well if you have the motherboard book, there is a jumper on the motherboard that you can reset the bios. You can also sometimes take out the battery that is built into your motherboard and let it set for a while and put battery back in. The jumper is a three prong jumper most the time with the connector on 1&2 or 2&3 and you just move it to the opposite side for 10 seconds or so.

this is going alongside with the guy above, yet you in lots of cases purely could get rid of the battery for everywhere from 5-10 seconds. sometimes there's a jumper close to the battery. the jumper would be on 2 of three pins. pins one million and a pair of are established, and a pair of and 3 are reset. thats all i surely could upload. yet while it extremely is something like the government desktops I surely have worked with, you are able to sparkling the BIOS however the passwords stay in place.

Yes, However you need to be able to log on with a admin..
XP PRO, Click start Run, Type MMC and hit enter. when the program opens click file and then add/remove snap in. then when that opens click add scroll down and find local users and groups. double click it. then click finish. Then highlight the account that you wish to change the password, right click and add new password.
If you dont have pro, then we need to know what version of Windows you have. Send me the version and I will help ya..

Open your case and reset the jumper on the motherboard.
don't know what brand of computer you are having, if it's dell, simply remove the jumper (but don't put the jumper back yet) and the turn on the computer and wait it load to the regular Window, and then turn the computer off again and put the jumper back as the same position as you remove.
