BIOS passwords are to prevent un-authorized access to your system hardware settings (like boot devices, cpu/chipset configuration exc.)
Windows passwords prevent unautherized access to your windows account (software). to do thinks like browse the internet, play games, work on documents.
hackers can NOT access your BIOS through the internet, a BIOS password can only protect you from physical people in your computer room, turning on your computer and accessing the BIOS.
Also, some BIOS's have passwords called user-passwords that DO NOT ALLOW OPERATING SYSTEMS TO LOAD (like vista) until the password is entered, when the computer turned on. (not out of sleep) -
Commander Wolf can i haz broadwell?
NBR doesn't allow discussion of cracking BIOS passwords, but if you want to remove a Windows password (and you don't know it), you can just reinstall the OS.

I am taking for granted that the OP knows the password
I use a bios password myself, I consider it more secure
I forgot the steps needed after you are logged into windows to change to no password needed
Does anyone remember ? -
Windows Key + R (Run command) > type "control userpasswords2" (without quotes) press Enter > untick "User must enter a user...." > click OK.
HTH.

Windows doesn't require a passwords, if you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, click Change Password, and then leave the New Password and Confirm Password fields blank, it'll remove the password.
