alright. I love these kind of puzzles. First of all, is is the bios password or a windows password?
If its a bios password, turn off and unplug your computer. Pop open the case, take out the battery, and turn on your computer. wait.... OK, turn it off again and put the battery back in. turn back on. This resets your bios to default settings and no more bios password.
If it is a windows password, log in with user name as Administrator. Leave the password blank. If you get in, go to control panel and change your password.
Hope that helps.

If you are talking about the one in the BIOS, next to the chip there is a jumper with three pins, take the thing across two of the pins, and put it on the other pins, Ie 1&2 to 2&3, that will reset the bios, just remember to put the shorting jumper back on the original pins.
If this is confusing, you manual should tell you how to do this.

Start up your computer, and press F8 loads! - Then you get a choice of startup options - choose "Start up in SAFE MODE"
Log on as Administrator or Admin, then go to Start > Control Panel > Accounts.
Select your account, and then remove the password.

Go under the Administrator account - most likely it's hidden. Control+Alt+Delete should make it appear. If not with one try, hit control+alt+delete again.
More than likely no one's set the admin password if it's hidden.
If that doesn't work, maybe rebooting under safemode will do it.

Restart in a Safe mode and try to log in as an Administrator and then if you do - change the password on your account, reboot in normal mode, and it should work :).

there are many questions i could ask, did he sit the administrator password, or is it the cmos password. there are programs to get the admin passwords, but they are expensive. however, the cmos password is easy to reset, look in your computer motherboard manual. Were you the administrator, if so he really did it to you. good luck

just reinstall, you could check under control panel under users and find out if you have admin privlidges or not under any other account but you'll most likely have to reinstall
