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.
4. Remove the battery pack by following these steps:
a. Turn the computer upside down with the front panel
toward you.
b. Slide and hold the battery release latch 1 to the left. (The
front edge of the battery pack disengages from the
computer.)
c. Lift the front edge of the battery pack 2 and swing it
back.
d. Remove the battery pack.
5. Remove the RTC battery from the socket on the system
board.
6. Wait approximately 5 minutes.
7. Replace the RTC battery and reassemble the computer.
8. Connect AC power to the computer. Do not reinsert any
battery packs at this time.
9. Turn on the computer.
All passwords and all CMOS settings have been cleared.

It would help if you will clear the BIOS or the CMOS of the laptop. It can be cleared by pulling out the cmos battery of the laptop for a long period of time or by locating the jumper/dipswitch on the motherboard that would clear the BIOS. You may go to these links on ways on how to clear an unknown BIOS password.
