You can use a CMOS-killer to reset the bios.

Don't forget to reconfigure it afterwards.

Or you may find it as a theft deterrent. Depends on the machine manufacturer. If that is what you are facing, you end up trying to convince the manufacturer that it really is your machine and they give you a password that works long enough to get your own back on it.

google on something like removing passwords for your brand of drive. You'll find stuff on both bios/supervisor passwords and drive passwords. The drive passwords are pretty hard and in some cases like ibm, you probably wont get the drive back unless you pay ibm or a data recovery service.

Hug your mother.
Backup your registry and data.
