I am recently trying to "fix" the above mentioned computer. It keeps coming up with an error code "Invalid Configuration Setup" and keeps asking for a password. There is no password that I am aware of. What can I do ? Thank you !

Hi eedonatti,
I‘d suggest that you remove the CMOS battery from the computer and then start the computer without the battery and then switch off the computer after 2 minutes. Replace the battery back into the slot before restarting it again. Please refer to the link below for the steps to remove and replace the battery.

Note: You will have to setup the date and time again on the computer after performing the above steps.
Please let me know if this helps.

DELL RAVI Ch your Link is invalid.
The documentation can be found here:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx110/
There is a jumper for password reset:

Table 1. System-Board Jumper Settings
System password features are disabled.
You can reset the NVRAM using this procedure as documented.
System Board Jumpers
Figure 10 shows the layout of jumpers on the system board. Table 1 lists the system board jumpers and their settings.

Disabling a Forgotten Password
If you forget your system or setup password, you cannot operate your system or change settings in System Setup until you remove the computer cover, change the password jumper setting to disable the passwords, and erase the existing passwords.
To disable a forgotten password, perform the following steps.

There is a motherboard password that would need to be cleared by Jumper.
