The bios password retriever is one route to go, provided
you have another machine available to fetch it, and the
floppy drive you'll have to run it off is correctly setup
in the current BIOS configuration. Examining the BIOS with
debug might be enough too, assuming that the password isn't
encrypted (don't know - never looked for one that way :))
With a bit of luck, the jumpers on your board will be
labelled. If that's the case, sometimes (rarely) there's a
jumper specifically for clearing the password. Failing
that, you're more likely to find a jumper for clearing the
CMOS, often labelled "cmos" or "clear" or "cmos clear".
Unjumpering that one for a while then replacing it should
do the trick. If you can't find that either, disconnect
the battery any way you can.
