Don't cross post. The other one was deleted.
If it is a Power on Password you can find the instructions on how to remove it in the Hardware Maintenance Manual. Otherwise Supervisor and Hard drive password discussions are not allowed on this board.

Other than to say you have two options: Get the password from whoever sold you the machine, or get a new system board.
