    I have bought a second hand Dell and on power up I am asked for a password for which I have no idea nor does the person I bought the laptop from.
    I have stripped the laptop to look for jumpers etc. to no avail.
    I beleive from what I have seen of the chipset that the password is buried in nvram.
    Anybody done a hardware reset of the bios on one of these machines?
    Maybe I can short some pins on the nvram (if I could find it).
    Cheers
    Kaz
