Hi, I bought a Dell Inspiron 910 Mini from a family that the kids had put in the password and forgot what it was, great deal, I thought I could figure it out to no avail, Dell will not HELP me because IAM not the original owner and the family I bought it from wont or cant help either, is there anything I can do? ,Thank YouIs this BIOS password or Windows Password?

BIOS Password can be cleared by CMOS reset, but you would have to crack it open to get to CMOS battery.

Windows Password can be force changed with a bootable USB thumb drive with a Password Resetter using a Linux Distro. I am guessing you dont have a CD or DVD drive, so you will have to create a bootable USB drive with the password reset tool. OR reinstall Windows via External CD or DVD Drive and software or create a bootable thumb drive of say 8GB in size with the OEM disk copied to that drive if it allows with piracy protection MAYBE not allowing OEM CD or DVD to be copied to another drive.

Link below is a reset tool for Windows
