Resetting the BIOS settings to the defaults is a side-effect of clearing the
BIOS CMOS, but the defaults are rarely problematic any more. Way back when in
the infancy of BIOS setups, in 386/486 days before autodetection of drive
geometry, resetting the BIOS CMOS settings was sometimes traumatic... Ben Myers

That will also change all the BIOS settings to the default. Since he knows
the password, F10 will more than likely get him into the BIOS where he can
change or remove the password.
