What are you actually trying to achieve? In many cases there are less dangerous ways to reset/bypass the BIOS password. The software you are trying to use seems to be very old. Looking at the source code (which can be downloaded here), the error you get is displayed when ioperm doesn't succeed (for whatever reason). I haven't found much information about it, but its man page indicates that it won't work on architectures different than i386.
