not even a screwdriver would help. DELL go to great pains to ensure that the bios passwords are buried deep - not even pulling the CMOS battery (or whatever it is nowadays) will work.
Much easier to just call dell and get the master passwd :-)
yes...i finally had the time to get on the phone with them. they walked me through it with one of their "special" passwords....took about 30 mins or so since i was dealing with a go-between guy, but works now!

There isn't. Call Dell support, and on proof of ownership, they'll generate a master password for you to use. You can then remove the password.
