    I have a Dell Latitude D600 and am having trouble with the bios password, which appears to have been changed. I now cannot boot up the system.

    Is there any way to bypass or override the bios password ??

    please help - I need my computer back !

    Feeling adventorous? You may be able to open her up, see if there is a watch battery. If so....pull it. You can also probably find apps to help you with that also.

    Afterthought:

    When you initially bought your laptop, was there already a default password in BIOS?? If so, try that first.
