Your BIOS password and Linux password WILL NOT be the same.Most BIOS don't have password set by default.So I guess you or someone else using the PC has set a BIOS password.Now I hope you do remember it.

On my Toshiba laptop it's F2. Most common keys are F2, F12, Tab, Alt+Tab,
Worth a shot anyways.
As far as reseting the bios password, most motherboards have a jumper that will do this. Of course this requires that you open up your machine and set the jumper.
You could try that if you are comfortable opening up the case. (just unplug it first) U could probably get a manual from the manufacturer's website that will explain how to do this.
If not, most shops can do this for you.

I also bought my current computer off of ebay, and it had a dead hard drive and a BIOS password. I went to dell and found the manual and popped the little jumper thing off. I probably need to stick it back on... or something. Oh well, I don't set a BIOS pass anyways.
