Hi icandp,
here are some others you can try.

Just another thought: if you remove a stick of ram, if it has more then one, or change the amount it has, this will sometimes bring the bios up.

A flash of the bios can be another option, just refer to the productor's site.

I know this thread is old but I had the same problem, I tried everything gave up on it for over a year. I was working on another laptop so I decided to take the memory out of the HP omnibook and put into another laptop. Funny as it seems I powered the omnibook up with 16v adapter without memory inserted . Then i decided i'll just add the memory back to the HP so I powered it off put the memory back in and the BIOS password was gone!

Who knows maybe this is a trick to bypass the bios password, take all memory out power up for 1 minute, power down and place memory back in... for some reason that worked for me it could be hidden trick trust me I have tried everything to remove that bios password and then one day this happens so I can only assume it might be the trick to get it work.
