Dell D420, would the a master password reset help me?

Hi guys,

Before I post in the Dell password removal thread, would somebody please be able to answer this question.

I can access my bios but cant change any settings like the boot order settings, the hdd password is not set. The admin bios password has been set. I need to turn this off in order to set the boot order.

I've read about a grey screen but dont seem to have it.

Would the master password be entered in the admin password setting screen?

Or should I have some grey screen?

From memory the service tag does end in 595B.

Thanks in advance guys.

Just to stop the pm's, I already purchased a master password from the famous auction site.
