I can start up the OS, but I can’t get into BIOS. I tried clearing the CMOS, but that didn’t help, the password is still there, somehow. Isn’t it supposed to be reset? It’s a used Sony Vaio laptop that I’m talking about here. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Yes, it should have been reset. How exactly did you try to clear the CMOS? Did you just flick the jumper/switch, or did you remove the whole battery and leave it out for some time before putting it in? The former approach is the preferable one. Make sure you leave it out for a long time, since some laptop CMOS batteries can hold the charge for hours. Make it a day, and it should clear.
