If you registered as original owner, Dell will help you. If you purchased the computer used, you will need to register the computer as yours on the Dell Web Site.
15 business days after you register, Dell Tech support will help you fix the problem as the registered owner. That is if the laptop has not been reported stolen. Otherwise, then men in blue will stop by to say hello
Dell will not fix it for free, but they will help you take care of it.
I suspect you will not find an alternative way to get rid of that password problem, except to replace the system board at a high cost.

Sorry, Play, but that sort of support is no longer available from TechSpot. The powers that be have determined there were too few successes, and too much time spent on something that was of undetermined merit.
You will need to contact Dell as the registered owner. If you are not the registered owner, you can fill out the Register New Owner papers on the Dell site. Then after 14 business days, if there are no reports of theft for that service tag, you become the new registered owner, and can discuss the problem in detail with Dell tech support.

Worth a try....

I spoke to an i.t tech today who said it is definitely possible to wipe the settings back to default by shorting out a jumper on the mainboard.

(yes they were referring to inspiron and not latitude)

Don't get the term shorting confused with removing or displacing the chip.

What needs to be found is a chip that is related to memory or memory storage somewhere on the mainboard close to where the NVRAM is operating.
That chip needs to be shorted out (bridging a flat head screwdriver on each side of negative to positive will short anything out)
I'm going to give a shot later on and will let you know how i go. If you find a way be sure to fill me in.
It's up to you and totally your responsibility if you try this as im not sure if it works or not.
Cheers
