    There may be ways to circumvent the BIOS password, but in any case we can't really help you; Dell is your best bet for solving this issue.

    Correct.

    We dont discuss bypassing security measures like BIOS/admin passwords for any reason.


    Thread closed.

    Thx for your cooperation.
