This has nothing to do with DJGPP, or even MS-DOS.  The boot password is
controlled by your CMOS.  When your computer boots, you should see a
message that says something like, "Press <F2> to enter Setup", or "Press
Del to enter Setup".  By pressing this key, you activate your CMOS setup
program, where you can change system settings including passwords.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN CHANGING ANY PART OF YOUR CMOS CONFIGURATION!!  YOU
HAVE BEEN WARNED.
