Macbook bluescreen and Firmware Password!!! What to do???

my Macbook Pro went bluescreen and now I can`t restart it in any mode or from any source since I of course have set a firmware password. It would have worked if I were able to write in my password,,,,but when trying to start from another source(install cd) nothing happens, except for bluscreen turning up. How to reset my Firmware password or fix my dear Macbook....

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

Stick in your 10.6 install disk and hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot.


Select the 10.6 install disk to boot from and under the Utilities menu is the firmware password reset utility.
