Start Up Problem
My son has a DELL Inspron 15R and has somehow manage to have the laptop request a system Password request on startup.
Is there any way to correct this problem.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

Unfortunately I do not have the password and I do not have a windows 7 boot disc.
Is there any other way to overcome the problem or do I need to take it somewhere
to get fixed.
Thank you for such a quick response, much appreciated.
Regards,
Ray

Hi Rjclark2011,
Welcome to the Community. You will need to call Dell Technical Support in your region, and verify the ownership of the laptop, and they will provide you with the password.
Thank you

Do you know what the password is ?
If yes, you can go to the BIOS settings and remove system password using that password.
To get to BIOS settings, hit F2 or Del a couple of times as soon as the computer boots up. Make sure you save and exit when done, the machine should reboot after that. Be careful in the BIOS settings environment :)
