I don't understand your question - is this a password that you are asked for as soon as you turn the PC on (i.e. a BIOS password)?

MS-DOS doesn't need a password to operate, so it's either a BIOS password before this loads or an application that runs on boot.

You might be able to reset the BIOS by manually resetting the BIOS with the internal jumper pins (you'd need to read the motherboard manual to do this). Or, you'll need to ask whoever changed the password.
