Dimension E310 Bios Password?
I have recently accuired a used Dell Dimension E310.
I need to change some options in the bios menu, but i cannot since i do not know the Admin password for it. I have tried resetting it twice, once by removing the battery, and the other by moving the jumper to pins 2/3. Both times were succesfull, but i still could not enter a correct password. (I was told the default password was Dell, i also tried password, admin, and entering nothing).
So can someone please tell me the defualt password, or explain another way to reset and acsess the bios options?
Info:
System=Dell system DV051
Bios Version = A03
Service Tag= <ADMIN NOTE : Service tag id removed per privacy policy>
Express Service Code= <ADMIN NOTE : Express Service Code id removed per privacy policy>
If anymore info is needed, just ask.
Thanks for any help!

Never mind, i figured this out. Just posting in case other's have the same problem.
To get around the password, even after resetting, simply remove the jumper pin. It will disable the password in BIOS, so you can change any settings that you wish.
