    What are you trying to unlock?  You don't have a password set.

    Does the system have Windows 8 on it?  If so, and it's the Dell-installed Windows 8, the system should be running in UEFI mode - not BIOS mode.  In that mode, the Windows boot manager (i.e., on the hard drive) will always be the default boot device.

    Just be careful - if you shift the system to BIOS mode from UEFI, Windows 8 WILL NOT load.

    What are you trying to change?

    In general there aren't many settings you can change.

    Yes, it does - and as shipped from the factory, Dell has the system set in UEFI mode.

    Hi mustafaabdd3,

    Based on the picture that you have shared, the “Admin Password” and “System Password” have not been setup. “Password Change” option is listed as “Denied” most probably due to the same reason. Did you check if you can edit and set the “Password Change” to “Permitted”?

    And, as correctly pointed out by ejn63, if your computer has Windows 8, Boot List Option will be UEFI.
