Hit the F10 key right after the COMPAQ splash screen shows a cursor in the upper right corner.
*Edit*
If it's a new laptop, you should have gotten a "Getting Started" booklet with a Documentation CD. On the booklet it tells you how to change the "Power On Password" . That is how you get to the bios.

Try F10, F2, Shift+F2
Compaq has an excellent online reference BTW. If you go to their site, you can download a PDF manual for your laptop.
