That sounds like a BIOS password yea. They're quite tricky.
You can try to open it up and see if there's any BIOS/CMOS reset jumpers. If not, you can try to disconnect the BIOS battery for a while, hoping it might lose it's settings. But these days a lot of them are FLASH memory, which don't need a constant power source.
Before you you start tearing it appart though, google the make and model along with bios reset. That should give you at least an idea of your options.
