Dear Kartik
Don't Do this if you Don't know what are you Doing
Steps To Clear the CMOS
Read Mother Board Carefully and See The CMOS/BIOS Jumper
if unable to find read the Manual carefully
if No Mother Board Manual
Then Download From Manufacture Site
There will be 3 pins
Which Have setting (By Default) - Don't ulter CMOS settings
Middle Pin is Common one Set to the alternet way
Notice you are in Admin ZONE. Read Manual Carefully if you don't know
Just Start the system and In 60 Sec Switch Off
Basic Thing is supply a pulse
Set the Jumpers at previous place
Your CMOS Setting are At Default Now
Second Method
Remove The CMOS Battery
And Short the + and -ve terminal that Connect to the Battery
Third Mathod
For Smarter Guys
For Those Guys Who Don't know the Basics or Does not Have time.
There is a Utility available known as cmos.exe
Simply Run this and The Work is done.
You Don't need to open the system

Google for a master password for your bios. That is the easiest fix. Next easiest is to find the jumper on the motherboard to reset the CMOS completely (probably called BIOS reset or something like that). You can remove the battery, but it usually takes 24-48 hours for the CMOS to reset that way. While it is technically possible to simply extract the Dallas chip from your motherboard to reset the BIOS, I severely discourage this method.

Clear the CMOS settings...there is a jumper (usually by the battery) that you switch to the other 2 pins for a few seconds, then back again. You can also remove the battery for a little bit then it will clear too.

there are two ways to clear CMOS password. first option is to remove the battery and put on after 2 minutes. second option is to short the jumper.

If you figure out the bios manufacture you can use the defult passwords which ou can find below. You can find your BIOS by checking the chip or i think you can find it on the set up screen.

If you use the jumper option - turn the computer off first.
(sorry if you already know this, but I have met people who did'nt)
