Bios Is Password Protected. Anyone Know What Password Might Get Me In.

Gateway M-1631U Starts then immediatly shuts down. Its also not charging the battery and the charger seems to be the wrong one. It states only 12V 60w though the correct one seems to be 19V 64W ... I've cleaned the fan and applied new thermal paste. Looked over the MB. Tried one memory stick at a time. Can't find the battery for the cmos. Try to get in bios but password protected. ????
