When you boot up, press and hold the Esc key and you should then get a 
message asking you to press F1 to enter the BIOS. Pressing F1 will then 
allow you access to the BIOS and you may be able in here to disable the 
laptop from requesting a password on bootup and thus allow you to use it 
once again.
