The easiest thing to do is to unplug the battery source to the NVRAM.  This
returns all the internally stored items to their initial state including
the firmware password.  In case you don't know it, it's default value is mcp.
Another thing to note when entering the firmware password is that the terminal
must be set to 9600 baud, and space for parity.
