    Well, give Dell a call to ask how they can resolve it.

    Though I suspect this thread will be locked down since you're asking how to bypass security measures, which is against forum rules.

    Are you saying that in the BIOS, CompuTrace is set to activate and you cannot disable? If so, that setting can only be set once for the motherboard, and if this is your system, the only way to fix this would be to contact Dell for a system board replacement.
