did you try hitting enter or just cancel? that should do it, but if it doesn't, you may have to reformat the drive

(1)Open the laptop up and unplug the internal battery. That should clear the boot password.
(2)If it has a service password like my thinkpad then there is nothing you can do except replace the motherboard.
(3)If it has a harddrive password you would have to reformat the hard drive.
Most thinkpads dont have the last two

Reset the bios. In a desktop I know that the bios has a battery which u take out and re insert, im sure the laptop is similar. Just take it to a computer repair center or even search online on how to reset the bios and that should fix your problem. I had the same prob with a desktop and this fixed it.

Take it to your local computer shop and have them format the hard drive and reinstall you operating system without passwords. It will be nice to have a clean system to work with.

If someone did in fact "give" you that, then they would have the password...if you "stole" it then too bad and it serves you right...
