removing the battery will most likely not work...in 99% of the Dell laptops the password is not stored in volatile memory that is powered by the battery, it is stored in an EPROM. so look for the jumper to reset the password as floody said... :wink:

Eh, didn't know it was a laptop :roll: Anyway, most modern computers (probably all) now come with a jumper to reset the cmos, so it's always better to use that anyway.
