Open the computer.

Look for the CMOS battery: it's about the size of a nickel, is shiny.

Carefully pry it out of its socket, and keep it out for a couple
minutes.

Put it back in. When you start up, you will get a message that you
need to set things in the BIOS. Enter it, and choose all the default
settings.

I always thought it had to stay out for at least 30 minutes? Not sure though, either way, pulling the battery off the motherboard will clear the password settings.

Also, before you pull the door off the machine, unplug it, and push the power button. This way you reduce the chance of damaging any hardware.
