HP Mini 110
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello all, as the title suggests I am trying to remove the BIOS password on my fossil of a machine, the HP Mini 110. I haven't even used it in years, but upon booting it up and trying to enter what I thought would be it, it of course wasn't.
  It dos spit out a code at me ([edited] but I have NO idea what that is for. I'm not looking to actually regain anything from my old laptop, I was just wanting to test out the whole theory of "Linux makes old machines run faster", but of course, I am being stopped by this.
  I tried to research this already, and I seen a post on here from way back in the day, someone having the same issue as me, and then giving that code that it spits out at you. Then a HP rep came on and gave THEM a code (I guess to enter into the pc as the password?), but the OP never responded, and the thread is not archived.
 I even tried to enter the code that the Rep gave out, but to no avail.
 Any help on this matter would be appreciated. If you need any further info, I would be more than happy to oblige.
