You will have to clear the password. That is usually done by moving a "jumper" inside the computer itself.
With the computer unplugged, open the case. Look on the inside of the case. Often there will be a chart showing you where the BIOS password switch/jumper is located and how to reset it.
If not, go to the manufacturer's web site and look for the information.
Move the jumper/switch. Wait a couple minutes, then repower the PC and the password should be gone.
If you want to put the password back on, you will have to power back down and reset the jumper/switch to its original setting. The password whould now be gone, and you can set up a new one if desired.

Reset the bios to get rid of the password, it's so simle it's not worth putting the password there in the first place. If you dont know where your reset jumper/pins are then just remove the small round BIOS battery for 30 seconds.

Take the cover off the pc. The diagram on the cover should show you the jumper that has to be moved to clear the bios password. Shut the computer off and remove power cables. Move the jumper. power up. shut down. move the jumper back. power back up and it should be cleared. Most mother boards the jumper is J7
