turn your laptop upside down and you will see a cover on the Right side with screws in it.Remove the screws and you will see the hard drive and usually the battery will be located on the left side.Unplug it,wait for a few seconds,then plug back in and replace the cover again.The password should not be needed anymore.
If it relates to the BIOS, you should open the BIOS utility and select Load Defaults. If it concerns the Operating system, you should perform a fresh/clean install. If the restoration partition is still on the hard drive you can reinstall, if not you need the computer recovery media (CD's or DVD's)
When the CPU in the computer or laptopoverheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot upagain until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then theCPU will eventually fail. A faulty fan causes this problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are cloggedwith dust. Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged withdust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use acan of compressed air to do this.
locate the jumpers for reseting the BIOS with hardware... beware all settings on CMOS would be restored to default factory settings and password will be erased. Jumpers would be on the mobo near the proc/ near the memory modules/ near the edge etc...learn to use the jumpers from manuals for ur model of laptop...cos each model varies in the location and use of jumpers
ok what you will need to do is reset the bios.
just take out the bios battery for a couple ofseconds then putit back in this normaly resets the password
