One or both of these option may exist on the system.

There is a BIOS reset jumper and/or a reset push-button.

The BIOS reset jumper is green in color so that it can be easily located.  Remove it from the pins and power on the system.  This will clear the BIOS passwords but not other BIOS settings.  Enter setup, add a new password and reattach the jumper.

If the BIOS rest button exists, locate, press, and hold the CMOS button in for five seconds.  This will reset ALL BIOS SETTINGS back to factory default.
