First I would try to use the ZIP CODE for the Church you bought it from.

2nd, Contact the Church, ask if they could put announcement for you in their Bulletin and Post a Notice in the Church to try to find the 'Donor'.

Last, I used to remove the BIOS Battery, for 30 seconds, from Desktop PCs to Reset the Password. This might work with Laptops.
