I had a dell with the same issue and found info on how to short the security chip with a paper clip...ewww coz it means taking it apart to access the chip then plug it in and cross the paper clip over the chip to short it, which could if not done right, destoy your mobo!

have you tried a range of passwords? fortunately I was able to get the password by trial and error. Have you contacted the person who sold the laptop?
