Where do you see this dialogue to enter the password? At the Windows Log on(Colour Logo)? During the Post? Does windows load or do you have to enter the password before windows loads?

You have to switch your pc off, open it up and remove the cmos battery. It's a small battery on the computer motherboard. Before you open the pc, remove yourself of any static electricity by holding a stainless steel tap(your kitchen tap) with both hands.
Remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes. Put it back and try again. This should reset the password.

Attached are images of the cmos battery
