The CMOS is a block of static RAM that will lose its data if power is removed. most newer laptops are using a small block of Flash RAM (perhaps a block of addresses within the Flash BIOS chip itself) or other type of EEPROM chip to store the password.

If you attempt to pull the battery, make sure that you have all
other sources of power disconnected (AC power and notebook battery).
Keep the battery out for about five minutes before reassembling the
laptop.
