HELLO FELLOW,

Unfortunately, you are going to have to call Dell Support at 1-800-624-9896 and have the bios password removed. This will need to be done before you can install Windows.

Dell will want you to prove ownership.
I seriously doubt you will be able to do that.
So, the easiest thing to do is to go back to your IT department and ask for the BIOS password.

bios-pw can also be used to get the master password.
