I take it you didn't bother doing even a brief google search? Vista

Guest AJR Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: bios password Look guys - usually a "routine" BIOS password can be "removed" by removing the battery - or checking documentation regarding changing pin settings on the System Board (mobos, motherboards are archiac terms)to clear BIOS. However the BIOS password can be "burned" in to the BIOS - in which case you are out of luck.

Guest peter Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: bios password The Manufacturers password for a Dell used to be "dell".........this would bypass the user password and enable you to enter the BIOS. I dont really know if it still is...I dont have a Dell anymore..........but its worth a shot. peter "sumit" <sumit@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:90FE6A70-4F5C-4728-8E9F-07B266D21115@microsoft.com... > thanks patrick,,, it seems i'll have to fill in transfer of ownership and > get the system in my name and wait till it happens before dell can help > me....any other ideas besides that??? >

This happened to me once, and Dell was helpful...but that was quite awhile back. Tried the battery thing yet? -- Top 10 Conservative Idiots: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/top10
