Hi,
The only way is moving the jumpers on the mother board:

Clearing the PASSWORD settings
The BIOS password is used to protect BIOS settings from unwanted changes.
To erase the BIOS password follow these steps:
- Turn OFF the computer.
- Move the jumper from pins 2-4 (default) to pins 4-6, then move the jumper back to the default position.
- Turn ON the computer.
