If you know the current password, use it to enter BIOS SETUP.
Then, type a "blank" ("space-bar") as the "new" password.

It cannot be removed using software.
To remove the password you will have to remove the CMOS battery located on the lower side of the motherboard.
To access the battery the computer must be disassembled completely.

SOURCE: How can remove BIOS password
These ppl have no idea how a laptop is built. There are no CMOS jumpars in a laptop, the only way to remove cmos password in a laptop is to use special software, hard to get and use because most laptops do not have floppy drives anymore, so the best way to do it is to dissassemble the laptop and desolder the battery for the cmos memory, one leg will do, wait 5 min then resolder it back. You may have figured out this is NOT for 98% of laptop owners, but a good repair shop and someone who really knows how to work on a laptop can do it in thier sleep.

The BIOS password is removed by the BIOS configuration, you need the BIOS password to get into the BIOS configuration.
But if you do not have the BIOS password then you need to construct this dongle device.

Hi sorry for the delay you could load some defaults there are other ways of getting your computer running if this fails i cant type these in now keep trying
During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart
