To remove the password, you could try to reset the PC by removing the small battery inside, it is the type of one you'd find in a watch, and is located on the motherboard, it stores the passwords and time when the PC is off/unplugged. Good Luck! Let me know if that works, or you may have to do a clean install of the OS alternatively!

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE PC BEFORE ACCESSING THE INTERNALS!

Stop! I'm very sorry! I got it completely wrong! That is to reset the BIOS password!
