Dell Latitude bios password removal

Hi.

I hope somebody can help me

My sister bought from a friend a Dell Latitude D510, it works fine, but I need to change the boot order and find that the bios has a password, and my sister's friends went to live to another city, so I can't get the password from him.

The id of the computer are:

Service Tag 2BPTN91
Express Service Code 5062066165

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks a lot

Didn't work

I took off the battery, as you say, for almost two hours, put back in its place again and turn on the laptop.

Is the same thing, I can't get into the bios and change it.

I'm going on searching to find the solution.

Thanks anyway
