The PSWD jumper should be located at the bottom edge of motherboard. Between PCIe x16 slot (blue) and the power supply.
However, certain BIOS password would require unlock passcode by contacting Dell Support. Proof of ownership will be required.

For further help, provide a photo of the motherboard's edge section where the blue PCIe x16 slot is located.
