Are talking about the BIOS password because if you are it's not an easy thing to do, password is actually kept in an EPROM; simply removing the motherboard BIOS battery won't reset the password like older systems. There is information available out there on how to do this. For example: http://www.pwcrack.com/security_chips_dell.shtml If you're talking about the logon password during boot-up you'll need a logon password cracker. Not sure where to find one for free though.

I was able to locate and change the screen for him this past week. Screen looks great. Meanwhile the old coot forgot his password...... Is there anyway to bypass, eliminate, or blow magic dust to start over again the password process. I'm tired of him leaning over my shoulder telling me to type in "this" or "maybe that". Might as well open up the Lithuanian dictionary and start from "A". Please, all help is appreciated.
