Theres a possible solution staring me in the face...

Anyway, thats a BIOS level password. You won't be able to do, or access anything without it.
Nobody here will really help you either unfortunately.
Sounds a little suss that you were given a working laptop, but suddenly nobody knows the password.
That often means a stolen computer.

Ask your cousin as we will not assist in bypassing or reseting a password.
