Hi,
Your notebook is producing a hexadecimal halt code which is stored in ram as a 'one off' and will be re-calculated after a reboot. This indicates you have one of the later AMI bios's and unfortunately none of the current code generators will work for this - surprisingly, you can usually still remove a power on password from the machine by removing the rtc cell ( leave the power board connected ) then hold down the power button for 60 seconds before re-inserting the rtc.
The bad news is that the rtc is on the 'wrong' side of the system board so will require quite a lot of disassembly - see Page 92 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
