im new at this so be nice to me. I have just recently received a free 486 from my school. It was part of a network and had no hard drive in it. when i installed a hard drive in it i went to go into setup but found it asking for the current password. my school does not know what it is. is there any way to get into setup.

the make of the computer is Mitac
there is a sticker on the bios chip which reads:
IB4077A
BIOS R1.05
CKS:018F
