And formatting the drive doesn't remove the password, which I think was the
original intention. To remove a bios password, you need to clear the cmos,
and how you do that depends on the computer. Most computers nowadays have a
jumper that you change on the motherboard that will clear the cmos. Check
your motherboard or computer manual to see where the jumper is and what
you're supposed to do. If there's no jumper, you can take out the cmos
battery (while the computer is unplugged). About 5-10 minutes usually does
the trick.

Unless you got a

Or you could find the cmos battery and remove it....
