I got some more comps from my school although different ones this time and removing the battery from them to remove the bios password dosen't work! What can I do, the whole IT has changed since these comps were put in none of them knows the pass!
 
I am pretty sure replacing the bios chip itself would do it, but not sure if there are any other less extreme ways. Try a google search, there must be loads of people in a similar position or have forgotten their password and needing help etc

You just need to bridge the cmos pins.

This^^ move the clear cmos jumper across (usually pins 2 and 3) and turn pc on, go into bios and reset passwords, it's quite simple tbf.

EDIT: Will look something like this

Yeh thanks anyway but i did find it before your post! But my problem now is that when it says press any key to boot from CD my USB keyboard isn't detected and so i can't any one got any ideas, I haven't got a PS2 keyboard!
 
The keyboard works fine for BIOS its just when it asks you to press any key for CD boot. Nothing when I unplug the HD and it says there's nothing to boot from press ctlr-alt-del to restart nothing then either.
 
Ok you need to set for your pc to boot from hardrive in the bios, It will seem like your keyboard is'nt working as you have no cd for it to boot from. You still have not said what motherboard you have so i can't really tell you what setting to look for in the bios. It should be under boot order. Dont go disconecting anything if it was all working before you forgot your password.
