you have to open your chasis and remove the power cable then remove the cmos battery and wait for some time then put the battery back and power on the system, your password should go.

you can try the following method
The best method to reset a BIOS password depends on what BIOS the computer has. Common BIOS's include AMI, Award, IBM and Phoenix. Numerous other BIOS's do exist, but these are the most common.
Some BIOS's allow you to require a password be entered before the system will boot. Some BIOS's allow you to require a password to be entered before the BIOS setup may be accessed.

Using a Backdoor BIOS Password Some BIOS manufacturers implement a backdoor password. The backdoor password is a BIOS password that works, no matter what the user sets the BIOS password to.

Award Backdoor BIOS Passwords One reported Award backdoor BIOS password is eight spaces.
