you should just need to find the jumper to clear the BIOS, and that will reset the password as well as everyting else. finding the right jumper will be the hard part, but it should be labeled (cryptically) on the motherboard.

Run a Google search for "BIOS backdoor passwords".
Most older BIOSes have a working backdoor password that always lets the user in.
