Try this one. Start at the second section where it says How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password using Software
http://www.technibble.com/how-to-bypass ... -password/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I just glanced over the article so I don't know how hard it will be, seems easy.

Ok man. I don't know of any computer shops around that would do that so I'd have to do everything myself. Hope it works. If you run into anything else let us know.

Thats how CompUSA was here in the states. They wanted $200 just to touch it, then the cost of labor and repair hardware.
