Somewhere on the board is a small button cell (a battery). Remove it carefully and leav it out for about 5 minutes then refit it (make sure you refit it the correct way around or you WILL damage the board). This will erase the bios settings. When you first reboot, it should rewrite the bios settings for you and boot as normal. Sometimes this can happen where the bios has a damaged code precursur which defaults to a password, resetting the bios will clear this.
If the password is a BIOS level Password (Before windows loads) then you answer is here:

If it is a Windows Password (Prompt displayed after the Windows Splash Screen) then try this options:
