Unfortunately you would need to disassemble the entire computer and remove the CMOS battery to reset the password. It would be best to bring it to a local repair shop to have them do it for you as you could cause damage to your computer if you don't know what you're doing. Just make sure when you set a BIOS password that you never forget it because it doesn't give you an easy way to reset it.
