Re-Install the OS - You may lose personal files and applications if not done properly
Download a Linux boot disk with NT Password reset functionality - I've never done it but many others have
Buy ERD Commander Pro from www.winternals.com - I highly recommend that any NT/2000/XP System Admin has a copy of this in their toolkit. It can save your behind in many situations. This very one is one of them, but it can do so much more too...
Scroll down on that website to the section called "Download" to download. It comes in formats for floppy disks, or a cd image if your computer supports booting a cd.

Hey ther I found the same exact PC your talking about and I had the same problem. All I did was opened it up and removed the battery ( THE LARGE ROUND ONE) for about 30sec. and replaced it and it started like new.
Hey does DELL have any info on this PC I can look up?
