Most Compaq's have a link on the motherboard that resets the CMOS. This will remove any password set up on the motherboard. It also resets the hardware. Look for a small 3 pin connector with a 2piece link over 2 pins. It is necessary to move the link across to the opposite pair ie (reverse it to the centre and empty pin). I have attached a link to a hardware manual:

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/276206/Compaq-Evo-D510-Mt.html

There are other manuals available at the same link.

Hope that solves your problem.
