True - but that has nothing to do with BIOS.
The pass word that the OP is missing is the W2K logon password.
If the machine was previously on a Domain, then there's very little we can
do.
OTOH, if the machine was previously a standalone, then perhaps a *nix
password changer disk may help, assuming that
a) the W2K installation still exists
b) that's what he wants to do!
