Hello N.Ferri@agora.stm.it,
 N> I was hoping to find something "similar" (ehm) to a standard offset.
    How would that help you? You can't boot a machine if you don't know the
    password.
    To kill a password, just discharge the cmos.
    In notebooks you can remove the batteries - all of them!
    This can be a search. Be very careful about keyboard/floppy cables!
    On most motherboards there is a jumper to discharge the cmos.
Regards, Barry
