Unable to access my bios to change the booting order as I forgot my password. Now I want to dual boot the system with a new operating system but the bios has the hard drive as the first boot drive.

you want to be looking for the rtc(real time clock) which is a little unit not much bigger than ur thumb nail.next to it youll find the battery(sometimes heat sealed with plastic.)if you remove this battery for about 5 mins then replace it or in ur case maybe renew it this will reset bios to factory(also method for bypass passwords as every thing is reset)
you might also wanna check ur video card.(connections and dust)
SOURCE: BIOS PASSWORD
Remove the Batteray, does not reset the bios password and setting on Toshiba A105 Notebook, don't try to do this, you will have difficulties in puting the notebook back together. Believe me, I've tried!

The BIOS one can usually be eliminated by disconnecting the battery and shorting the terminals, if necessary, then plugging the battery back in. The administrator pass work can sometimes be gotten around by pressing the F8 while loading,then changing it. The most undesirable option is to reformat and buy another OS. Sorry for the hard time.

If you are a normal computer user who has forgot his BIOS password and you are unable to access to your BIOS, then you need a simple way to change your BIOS. Its not that hard because you just need a simple trick to reset your BIOS password.
Open your CPU cabinet after switching OFF the power and then try to locate the CPU battery which can be found very easily. Once you locate your battery you need to remove it once and restart your PC without the battery.
Note : Once you remove your battery from the mother board, you will find that all your time settings in your computer would be lost, and some softwares may stop working which are based on your computer time.
You need to shut down your PC again and now add back the battery which will enable you the time saving feature and also reset your BIOS password.
