Here is a link to an article that may help you. Make sure you save the password if you reset it.
Good luck
rj713 the laptop is locked up by a password. This person can not get beyond the password screen. They are not trying to get to the BIOS. "They want to own the box." That is what I was trying to clarify with my question in the comment section, of their question. I have no solutions for what they want the manufacturers keep coming up with new ways of making sure that who owns the laptop is not compromised. SAM inside works for the operating system.
I hope he has a dealer nearby in that case. I was going by his statement that he wanted to remove the bios password.

the 'so-called' technician at technibble and many others that purport to be knowledgeable on power-on-passwords do not understand that to use any power-on-password killer, u have to gain access to the power-on-password creator, which means any cracker in windows.
a. is not going to work coz the password is written to a chip on the motherboard, and
b. the power-on-password comes up b4 anything, so u can't even get into get ito windows.
c. wiping the bios via the cmos battery will not work, although, it did work once for me on an hp but i had to do it in very specific way, the same method wouldn't work with a sony vaio.
so u need a dedicated piece of software to reprogram the eeprom chip, this is an electrically erasable progammable read only only memory chip that usually only the original manufacturer will be able to give u the code.
although there some guys out there that have learned how to do it but it is not a free service, i know this is not going to help u solve ur problem but hope it helps u understand what has to be done.
u will also have to prove ownership of ur laptop, which is not so easy to do, unless u r the original owner.
