How do I release an Ip address from a cisco DHCP pool

I have a machine that will not release its ip address.  It gets it address from DHCP server setup on cisco 2600 router.  I have had the user turn the machine off then back on and it still gets the same address.  The machine is setup for DHCP.  I even set the DHCP lease on the router to 0 0 1.

HI,

ip dhcp pool LAPTOP
   host 10.0.0.252 255.255.0.0
   client-identifier 0100.140b.42db.57
   netbios-name-server 10.168.1.10
   domain-name scinetwork.hu
   default-router 10.0.0.1
clear ip dhcp binding * (clears all)
clear ip dhcp binding X.X.X.X (clears specific)
what ikalmar posted is a how to create a reservation but if you want the binding deleted so that another device can get that address or so that your laptop gets a new address use what I put.  Also as a note there is a chance if it is the next address in the pool and no other devices request an IP it may still get that IP.
clear ip dhcp binding ?
  *        Clear all automatic bindings
  A.B.C.D  Clear a specific binding

Here is the output of the command taken from my 2621 at home.

I excluded the address x.x.x.244 they were using and I also did a clear ip dhcp binding on the address.  The user still gets the same address when they reboot.  I excluded the address because I want to make it static for a polycom video unit.

ok, if you want to use DHCP use my suggestions.....
Not sure why I referred to it as a laptop must be residual from another thread.  Sorry again.
