Joel;
Something here should help:

However since the laptop is new to you, you should perform a Clean
Installation to get rid of all the junk and any malware.
That would also solve your password issue.

Or are you talking about the BIOS password?
If so contact the manufacturer, prove ownership and they will tell you
how to take care of it.
