I think by 'System' you most probably mean 'BIOS'.  The key you press to 
get into it depends on the make and model of computer  -  for example 
for Dell PCs such as I have here it's usually <F2>, but I've also 
encountered <F10> & <DEL>.  In fact it may be displayed in a suitable 
message on the screen at the correct time to press it.  In the absence 
of such a message search online for something like "<make> <model> 
keystroke to enter system BIOS", substituting appropriately the make and 
model of your PC.

Once in the BIOS, you should be able to disable the password on boot up, 
as long as you know the current password, which, given that your old PC 
has died,  presumably you must do as you are apparently using the new 
one to post here; if not, you may have to clear all the BIOS settings to 
get rid of it, and would again have to search online quoting your make 
and model of machine to discover how to do that without being able to 
enter the BIOS; sometimes it was a jumper setting on the motherboard, 
which you had to remember to revert to normal after you'd done the job, 
but I haven't had this problem for a very long time, so new methods for 
achieving this may have come along since.
