Computer Locked from Bios

I am having trouble booting my computer. I have a Compaq Pesario 2100. It turns on and goes to the Compaq screen, then requires a bios password to proceed. I don't know the password or how to get around it. I cannot get to the F8 menu thing, because EVERYTHING is locked with the Bios password. Here are my two questions:

1. I can't find the Bios battery. I know what it looks like, but I don't see it. Might that be the cause of my issues? If not, where the hell does it go?

2. Do you know any backdoor passwords that might work with this SPECIFIC model? I've tried a bunch, but none of them work.

3. Do you know of any hacks that may get around a bios password that don't require booting to Windows?
 
BTW, I already tried the backdoor where you press f2 or f10 then type in "compaq", along with most other generic ones you'll find on the net.
