Hi Ujval,
R u talking abt BIOS password . If so it is not stored in the registry !!
For details see the link and the summary
below in "Controlling Access to the Power Switch " section of the web page.

The summary is below :
Controlling Access to the Power Switch : -
======================================
On many hardware platforms, the system can be protected by using a power-on
password. A power-on password prevents unauthorized personnel from starting
an operating system other than Windows 2000, which would compromise system
security. Power-on passwords are a function of the computer hardware, not
the operating system software. The procedure for setting up a power-on
password, therefore, depends on the type of computer. Consult the computer
vendor's documentation for additional information.

Venkat.

Not possible with Win2K, thanks to its hardware abstraction
layer. If it were possible, you can bet some idiot would have
written a virus/trojan/etc by now that enables a power-on
password in bios/CMOS.
