I think the "pasword" you are refering to is the BIOS password. I believe you have to enter your system bios to change the password. You didn't say which system you had so i can't help you any further. but as long as you know how to get into the bios (i tap F2 at startup to enter mine) you will see the password set up option in there and be able to change it. Good luck!

Since you said that you have done this before, I'm
guessing that it's a older system. My system
is just over a year old and it's a dell dimension L800r.

To enter the setup, when the computer boots, press the
key just after the computer does the keyboard
check.

The only thing is you need the supervisor password
to remove the user password.

The other option if you do not remember the supervisor
password, is to review the user manuel for the jumper
on the mother board to allow you to enter the setup
in maintenance mode. This will allow you to remove the
passwords without remembering them.
