487065 2006-09-25 08:00:00 Have you just tried hitting 'ESC' as the machine POSTs?
These Dells are a pretty basic layout. You take the CMOS battery out.
You short out the contacts where the battery made connections.
Wait a bit, then put the CMOS battery back, you will need to reset everything. You must know someone who can help!

Have you read the user manual section on passwords? there is a lot of detailed instructions on how to setup change and even remove a forgotten password.
