The manua;l says that a forgotten bios password means a board change.....
Here is your manual
http://www.manualowl.com/m/Lenovo/IdeaPad-S100/Manual/205695?search=reset+bios&x=73&y=20
From page 30 of the manual, it looks like you can use a paperclip to rset to factory- look at that diagram, and read the one key pages.I have used this type of reset with an ipod and succeded so ,possible.
You could try the one key rescue in windows- I have not used this particular one, but you can create recovery discs from here, however I am not sure, but it seems that there is an option to recover from that one key within windows, without those created discs- you will need to read through after pressing the one key button within windows. I fI can find out more, I will come back and add to this post.
A last resort can be to have someone capable to remove/replace/resolder the cmos battery. I cannot see from the manual where this lies, unfortunately- if it is unplugable then it can be easy - if as I suspect it is soldered then thats a different story.
