If you are talking about a password in the bios...
each laptop is different.. you might just replace the bios chip, or short a few of its pins in the motherboard... but the latest laptops come with stronger protections each time.
Take it to a technician. Your friend pays!!
If the problem is the windows XP password... boot the machine with a Hiren's boot CD, ERD commander or Linux and change the password..
there are many tutorials on how to do this... google it.
Good luck
