if it's a windows logon password you can use this free utility to reset the password. I've used it a couple of times and it has worked everytime.

If it is laptop BIOS password, the only way to reset it is to shortout the eeprom chip. It is more complicated but it can be done, you just have to look for the directions for your particular laptop.
