You didnt say what type of laptop it is!
If it is a Pentium 3 or 4 laptop, chances are you can have it reset by just taking out the cmos battery.(have atechnician do that if you cant.)
If it is one of the newer ones, then you dont have a choice than to take it to a technician to have the bios reset. this cant be done by a user.

Typed in password wrong, when typed in right cant log in

Hi Brenda,
First I need to find out if the password you are referring to is the Bios password or a Windows password.
If when you turn on your laptop you get a black screen and then the password prompt, This is Bios password.
Or if you see loading windows, Then the password prompt, This windows password.
If you can tel me this I may be able to help you.

How to unlock toshiba satellite laptop BIOS and HDD

If you are the original owner Toshiba will reset the bios for a fee and it is not cheap, they may include the HDD reset, if not! www.ebay.com type password, or hard drive password. I would check bios password, probably a lot cheaper if you can find the right seller, also check www.download.com some software may be free.

Hi, if you are unable to get the bios master password from HP Support then use http://www.unlockbiosrecovery.com/Unlock_HP-Compaq_Bios.php This bios unlocking service can calculate the bios master password just like HP Support that will delete any current set bios password. For $20 unlockbiosrecovery.com will calculate you bios master password and email it to you within a couple hours and they guarantee it to work or you money is refunded. I use them for all laptop bios master passwords on laptops I repair when the bios is locked with an unknown bios password or unknown hard drive password.

Hi,
It seems to be BIOS password, if you don't remember or don't have the BIOS password you have to reset the password by opening your CPU cover and removing the CMOS coin battery, this will reset the BIOS password but dont forget to return back the battery and start using your PC.

Windows Password Recovery is right what you need in your case. The program is designed to reset Windows login password once you accidentally forgot it or have no access to your system. By burning a bootable CD, you can enter almost any computer with Windows administrator login password protected within a few seconds. Here are the step by step tutorial, pretty easy!

Step 1: Download Windows Password Recovery and install it on another computer.
Step 2: Prepare a blank CD/USB and run the software and use it to burn the ISO file to it.
Step 3: Put it into the CD-ROm and restart your locked computer. Change the BIOS setting of your locked computer to make it boot from the CD-ROM or USB drive (Start computer and press F2 or Delete to enter BISO setup)
Step 4: Boot your locked computer from the created disk and remove your forgotten password.
