I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think you can recover a BIOS password, however, you can reset it by clearing the CMOS. This can be accomplished by either removing the CMOS battery on the mobo for approx 5 mins. and replacing it or setting a jumper on the mobo. Some mobos may have additional instructions after changing the jumper to clear the CMOS. Check any documentation that came with the mobo or check the manufactureser support site for instructions on clearing the CMOS.
