I should have stated to put your specs in your Profile (also answering Yes in there as well)

Kimsland ;; Thank you my friend , I should be able to handle it with that info.

Hi,You can (for desktop)also boot in safe mode(F8)and log on as admin.choose "run" and type-control userpasswords2, hit enter and then remove any logon passwords.

Ok I have a Dell Inspiron E1505(6400)that I am working on,it has a bios password where a grey screen comes up asking for password.It will not boot off any cd's.I read here where Rustam gave someone a password for their laptop-don't know if it worked.It says service tag number and -595b.
Can anyone help so I can get this fixed.
