I have an Eee pc and I can't remember the password. I tried pressing F9 and it asked Enter CURRENT Password after I pressed F2 on the boot up screen.
I am not sure exactly which model of Eee PC you have, but this type of password protection is likely only to be cleared by resetting the CMOS.

This video shows you how to get into an Eee PC and to the BIOS battery (Might not be your exact model but it should be similar.)
Pull the battery shown for approx 5 mins (30secs is generally sufficient but better safe than sorry.) Replace the battery, reassemble the machine, and boot it up again. With any luck it should be cleared and will boot normally!

Try opening a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and type the following:
sh startsimple.sh
and press enter. It worked for me, hope it will for you!
