I have to look on line for which button to press when booting up. As it is not f8 or delete or ESC
As I said above, Google the model number to find instructions. Or tell us.

Next time if you need to clear a windows logon password, as long as the hard drive is not encrypted then its easily doable with a boot CD and something like Kon Boot.

Or create the password recovery drive using windows native feature!

Bit difficult when you inherit the device.

If it's the BIOS password then I don't think there is any way to bypass it.
A BIOS password can be very easy to defeat.
I recently sorted out an issue with a BIOS password on a friends laptop by simply removing the CMOS battery for 30 seconds.
