Removing BIOS' password in XPS 15 l502x
Hi everyone. I have an issue with passing BIOS. My brother now is in prison, but his laptop is left at home. I understood by removing the HDD that he deleted everything from his laptop (even OS) and put a password to BIOS. My grandmother asked him about the password, but he forgot it. At first, i tried to contact with dell's support, but they asked me for retailer's name. We bought this laptop in Dushanbe and even my brother don't know the retailer's name. At second, i searched the whole internet to find the unlock key, but i didn't find it. At third, i removed for 24h CMOS battery, it also didn't help. What can I do in this case?

kikorik,
UInfortunately, you will need to contact Dell to have them verify the owner information. They will then provide a bios reset pw for you. Removing the cmos battery will not work.
