This is a video for ACER laptops:

The way it works, I think, is that you enter the "wrong" password 3 times
and it gives you a code. Then, you have to go to your laptop
manufacturer's web site and enter the code. It will give you a reset
password code which you enter on your laptop.
BTW, in general, it does not make sense to use a BIOS password since it
only protects the computer itself and not the more valuable data that is
contained on the computer. The better thing to do is to encrypt your hard
drive. Of course, you'll then have to remember that password :-).
