If ths is the bios password
Shut down the computer. unplug the power cord from the plug end and then the laptopand
Remove the battery
Remove the hard drive cover
You should now see the cmos/RTC battery--disconnect this for around 5 minutes
from the system board.
Then replace this rtc battery first .then the main battry.
This will clear the bios/supervisor password.
This will not work on a hard drive password-
