Forgot bios password
Please if anyone can help me.
I forgot my bios password for my dell Inspiron 1545. I tried so many times but after 3 fail attempts the monitor turns off all time.
I also tried after seeing somewhere the bios password generator site but when I entered my service tag there it showed "password under construction" I don't know what does that mean. I also want to know if I will change the ram and hard drive will it remove the bios password?
Please if anyone can help me.

Dell notebook - the BIOS password is stored in a flash EEPROM, not in CMOS.
Call Dell - upon proof of ownership and payment for a support call if you're out of warranty, they'll issue the system-specific master password to you.

I called them and gave them all the correct details. But they said that my laptop is out of warranty so they can't do anything. I even told them that whatever will be the payment I will pay but they said it can't happen as my product is out of warranty.
They told me to get a local technician for help but I don't wether they will resolve it or not and take the payment just for visiting.
I also wanted to know that you said the bios password is stored in flash eeprom and not in the CMOS battery. So does removing the flash eeprom removes the bios password or not?
Please reply.
