Open the case and remove the battery from the main board. It is a little quarter sized metal disk.
Sometimes you have to turn on and off your computer after you do so, and then put the battery back in.
Make sure you computer is off and unplugged when you pull out the battery.
If you have your motherboard manual, you can look up whether there is a CMOS reset jumper or dip switch.

Assuming it's a desktop - turn it off, open it up and look for the CMOS battery. It's usually a small round metal disk. Remove it from the system. Look on the motherboard close to where the battery sits and you will probably see a clear CMOS jumper. It will be three pins with a jumper sitting over two of them. Say it is over pins one and two, pull it off and put it over pins two and three. Leave it for 30 seconds and then put the jumper back where it was. Re-insert the battery and put the system back together. You will have to reset the CMOS on the first reboot afterwards but you can usually just accept the default settings.
All the best!

There are many ways to solve this ptoblem.
1.Just remove the cpu cabinet and on the mother board u will see a battery remove it for a while and place it back this way u can rest the cmos configuration to the default level
2.(or) try to locate a reset jumper on your mother board this can be located using your motherboard manual
3.or try any of these following urls where you can find password decrypter softwares but be carefull

Clear the CMOS.
You could try the jumper, but it's easier to explain by telling you to just unplug the computer, take out that little Coin battery off the motherboard. Wait 30 seconds, put it back in. Plug the computer in and turn it on.

if you have the book for your computer mother board it should show you how to reset the mother board, also you could take out the back-up battery on the board that will remove any stored passwords on the mother board
