The only way is to pull the laptop apart and remove the watch battery (actually called the CMOS battery). Once removed then put back into the computer it will be reset to defualt, which is no password. 

The problem is getting to it, What model specifically is the laptop?

Hello, that option is usually set in BIOS.  Does anybody else have access to this laptop?  Have you asked if anybody has changed anything on it?
