9 times out of 10 the CMOS battery is located on the top side of the notebook motherboard. To get to this area, you'll just need to remove the keyboard set. It's normally fairly easy.

If it's a Dell Notebook, That's were it is.

But, please list the notebook make and model so we can better help you. There are a lot of backdoor / manuf. passwords you can try.
