Hitting F2 goes to bios, but the password screen launches.
The owner does not recall setting a password and the
one she uses for all her other things, doesn't work.
So, how do you turn that off in a laptop so you can
get to the bios?
In a pc I know you can clear the bios with a jumper
pin, but I have no idea how to proceed with a laptop.

Try removing all batteries over night. This works on desktops, not
overly sure about laptops.
