You've somehow activated the supervisor BIOS password. That's the basic problem with security - if you make it good enough to stop hackers, it will lock you out permanently if you forget the password/
If this is a laptop computer they often will store BIOS supervisor passwords on both the motherboard and the hard drive, so to remove the password you will have to change both pieces of hardware. Other laptops/desktops will sometimes have a jumper-type setting to reset the password. You will need to consult your manual or contact the maker to find out what needs to be done on your particular computer to remove the supervisor BIOS password.

You can either look on-line for a "admin" bios password. Or open your case. Consult your manual or Manufacturer website and figure out where the bios reset jumper is.Once you find the jumper you just have to move it from two pins to the other two. Its fairly simple. I would suggest trying the passwords listed on the sites below.

I did a quick search on Google for this and found this page which may be of use
http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/reference/biosp.htm
It lists backdoor passwords to BIOS manufacturers, if you cant enter anything then you may be able to reset the bios by shorting the jumpers on your motherboard to reset the bios, if you update the question with the name of your motherboard I will check back with a link to the bios jumper setting.
