Page 7 of 8 This is a picture without the hard drive housing.
We are almost there!! a couple of more screws and that is it! We need to remove these screws also! 

Step 8. After we remove all those screws the system board should be loose so we can move it and get to the EPROM. This is going to be the trick part! I put a couple of sheets of paper so I would not scratch the LCD screen because the system board is going to lay on it for a bit while I take the black plastic tape of the EPROM. During all this time and after I took the tape off we will have to put the Micro Grabbers or solder onto the EPROM and put the keyboard back on but not lock it in place just connect it to the board so we can power on the board to get too the password prompt. You will have to be very careful not to short out anything! or even get shock!! so PLEASE BEWARE! These last couple of step will show you where you can find the EPROM but the rest is up to you. 
As you can see from the picture above I have put a couple of sheets in between the screen and the system board. Where you see the black tape is where the EPROM is at! I have a red arrow pointing to the place.
