Optiplex GX270 BIOS Password Clearing
Hello,
I inherited an Optiplex GX270 with a BIOS/Bootup password. I removed the battery on the system board but to no avail. I need to go into BIOS and also to boot Windows but both need this stupid password, which I unfortunately don't have and no one seems to know (that's how I ended up with this "gift").

Welcome to the Dell Community Forums.
There is a jumper on the main board just to the left of the main power connector that is marked PSWD. You remove this jumper to clear the system BIOS password.
