He's not really a nice friend if he does things like that.
Ask him for the password, or are you acually trying to get onto his PC? hmmmmmm
 
There is a way to do it by resetting the BIOS, but that resets the whole BIOS, try to get the password from your friend first.

Nope, that password is set up to prevent anyone from accessing the PC at all, not even with a bootable CD, you will have to open the PC and look for the Reset Jumper, your motherboard manual should have all the details on how to do this.

hya! i've got a program that resets your password, but you can't read it. the programm is very small. it's a image and starts from cd in a dos style. i don't know the name, but i would send it to you with a e-mail.

How does one start booting from CD, if the BIOS would not let you even start booting process?

There are backdoor passwords for certain Bios's, depends on the Bios that you have..
