Need help starting my computer: master password at startup

I dont know if this the right place to ask this, but here goes. I bought an everex stepnote model va250e laptop at a pawn shop. It was powered on at the pawn shop when I checked it and everything on it worked fine. So I turned it off, bought it, but when I returned home and tried to power it up, the first thing it does on startup is ask for a password, even before I get to the splash screen. I took it back to the pawn shop, and all they said was 'well it was working when you looked at it over here. We dont know what you did to it after you took it'.

All this happened withing half an hour. Well, anyway, is there anyway I can remove this darn password, or have I just bought myself an expensive paperweight? Please help.
 
Sadly it's against the forum rules to discussing bypassing passwords.

It sounds like there's a BIOS password on it - Google 'how to remove BIOS password on [insert laptop make/model no. here]' and go from there...
