Unless wiping the laptop clean of all info (refomatting) can reset to default settings, you pretty much stuck.
My question is, why would anyone have a need to set-up a password on the BIOS?
Your job is to not unlock it, but rather go back to the original owner and work with him to try and remember it. I'm sure that he has used only a handful of passwords over time, and one of them has to work. You trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out someone's debit card pin number, which would be a total waste of time. Sell it back to him, or take it to a PC technician and hope that they know some back door tips.
Testimonial: "coz he bought this cool new laptop and wanted to make it his and his only... he came out with this brilliant password and lost it."
