you can't.

however-

since your obviously reinstalling everything anyway- you'll want to clear the BIOS password evidently set. I won't go so far as to spell it out, but the memory storing the password is kept REFRESHED by a small battery on the motherboard. if it was to be removed for a while there's is a chance the BIOS would revert to defaults.
