Not long ago, I ran into a similar bios password issue like yours with a 2005 Compaq P4 Laptop. I successfully removed it with Bios Cracker (BIOS password remover) using Hiren's freeware Boot CD.
Thankfully the bios was set to boot cd first.
This might work for you also.

Or...If your friend Tommy was the original owner...ask him for the password.

Thanks! Unfortunately Tommy didn't use this machine. He had to fire the employee who did so trying to get it from him is not possible.
I will try the software options that you presented.

I fixed it with software from HP. Since I reinstalled everything I was the administrator so all the security software allowed me to delete the former user and I got into the bios that way. It definitly surprised me that I could do that. I really thought I would leave it alone until it might become nessessary to take the machine apart.
