Windows can be hacked. The best option is the boot-able password reset cd. See this link to download a copy. You'll need to have someone burn it to CD for you. http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
BIOS can be cleared as noted. I borrowed this from another site so I didn't have to type it all in...
- Unplug the computer system
- Remove the side panel
Now you have two options
OPTION 1
- Locate the jumper JP1 or JCMOS1 you can use your manual for a reference its a 3 pin jumper located close to the battery
- The jumper is currently on 1 and 2 , set it to 2 and 3 wait a few seconds and set it back to 1 and 2
OPTION 2 - in case you cant find the jumper
- Remove memory
- Remove the battery
- Press the power button 5 times to empty any charged capacitors
- Replace battery and memory
- Boot system enter bios load optimized defaults , save and exit
You should be good to go.
