Oh, you must be an Administrator, right? If there is another Administrator account on the PC, it can restore your password through User Account Settings -> Manage Another Account.
If not, I have a complex way. First, restart the PC. When it shows the HP logo when booting up, press the button for Setup (it is shown at the bottom of the screen, and it is F8 on my HP tx2001au).
Now, don't get scared by what appears. It looks a bit complex, but it is very simple and easy.
Navigate using the keyboard. Press the right button to move to the Security section. Here, press Enter on the Administrator Password option. Now enter and confirm a new password and you're done.
See the bottom of the screen for the button for 'Quit Saving Changes' and the computer will reboot. Now, I guess you can enter the new password.
If this doesn't work, see online for ways to reset a password in Vista. There are some softwares to burn to a CD and use.
If it is an XP, I guess there is nothing to do. Just press Ctrl+Alt+Del on the logon screen to see the classic logon screen. Type in the username 'Administrator' without quotation marks and the password blank. Press Enter and enjoy.

If the password was for Windows then the easiest way to fix that is to reinstall using the recovery option. If the password is for BIOS then the only way to fix that is to take the laptop to a dealer's service center and have them reflash the BIOS at a hardware level.

i assume by saying there is already a password on the laptop, you're referring to a windows password, when the computer boots start tapping f8, you will be presented with a boot menu including safe mode, start windows normally etc... there should be an option for 'repair your computer' arrow down and hit enter. once windows recovery console loads click next a couple times and then you'll see another menu. the new menu should have a bunch of repair options one of which is restore to factory default. click that and follow the prompts. once it's done you'll have to go in and remove all the bloatware installed by the store.
