Can anyone help me pleaseThat depends.......What does it say you have to do to reset the password?heres what the BOOK says:

If the computer you are SERVICING has an unknown password,
follow these steps to CLEAR the password. These steps also
clear CMOS:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (refer to Section 5.3,
“Preparing the Computer For Disassembly,” for more
information).
2. Remove the real-time clock (RTC) battery (refer to
Section 5.7, “RTC Battery,” for more information).
3. Wait approximately 5 minutes.
4. Replace the RTC battery and reassemble the computer.
5. Connect AC power to the computer. Do not reinsert any
batteries at this time.
6. Turn on the computer.
All passwords and all CMOS settings have been cleared.


this is 5.3
Before you begin any removal or installation procedures:
1. Shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the
computer is off or in hibernation, turn the computer on,
and then shut it down through the operating system.
2. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.
3. Disconnect the power cord.


RTC Battery Spare Part NUMBER Information
RTC battery (includes 2-sided tape) 431436-001

1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (refer to Section 5.3).
2. Remove the memory module compartment cover
3. Disconnect the RTC battery cable 1 from the system board.
4. Remove the RTC battery 2.
this is word for word thats why it took me so longIt seems you are pretty much just removing the CMOS Battery (on the motherboard).

This won't harm your data.
