For a Windows PW you just push cancel.

Yes, if it's a windows password, just click cancel.

If it is a boot password, i wouldn't know how to help you, but i will ask my dad. I know my dad can get around it..

*EDIT* Just asked my dad about it, he said something about doing something with the BIOS..
I would do some research on the internet first though.

As stated previously, you can still enter Windows without a password by pressing <ESC> or else hitting "cancel" at the logon dialog box (but you won't be "logged on"). The Windows password can be removed by searching for and deleting .pwl files in the Windows directory. Details can be found in the following link:

Well if you mean a boot password then the only way i can think of is to disconnect the battery to the CMOS to clear the boot password then reconnect it and reconfigure CMOS
