I think you're kinda hosed- you might need to replace the BIOS chip or better yet, get another motherboard. Sounds like there's a BIOS password in place and I think they're pretty hard to get around.

SAINT19, I was just going to mention that but wasn't sure if the method was still relevant. Anyway, using the Clear CMOS jumper looks to be your best bet.
