The password to log in to the operating system (e.g. Windows) or is the whole hard drive encrypted and you need the password to decrypt the hard drive before the system will even boot the OS? Or is it a BIOS password (unlikely).

If its a BIOS password, you can recover by taking out the CMOS battery or some motherboards have a set of pins you can short to reset.

If the drive is encrypted, you will need to format the drive.
