I hope your system has an AMI BIOS.

If it's just the Setup password, you can try running a shareware program,
AMISETUP.  This program works on most AMI BIOS that use the text-based 
setup.  It's not good for the newer BIOS that use graphics screens.

Look for amise270.zip.  SimTel has it in /SimTel/msdos/sysutil.

If your system checks the password on every boot, then you *will* have to 
clear out the CMOS memory, since this program requires that your system be 
operational.

Good luck.  Gerry Kroll, PWGSC, Government of Canada.
