You need to place a voice call to Dell support. Be prepared to verify you ownership of the system and if the system is out of warranty, with a credit card to pay for the call.

The password is stored in EEPROM. Removing the battery will do nothing.
The only way to reset a lost password is to have Dell generate a master password for your system, and the only way to do that is to call Dell support and verify your ownership of the system.

You need to find and remove the cmos battery. You will need to remove the cover and find it.

I did the same thing.Like to never get it resolved.But I did.Restart/as soon as it starts press F 12 select Bios and keep trying until you delete it.Do not put none like I did just delete it.Good Luck.
