how about reseting your cmos by the switch on your mobo... will that get rid of the password?

yes just reset the cmos by pulling out the jumper and placing it back again. this will remove the bios password. and coming to the operating system password i think u can delete passwords by booting up in safe mode and go to user accounts and do the deletion. I am not sure if the second instruction would work. Please try
