Hi friends,
I am having Dell Latitude E6400 XFR laptop with me everything is workign very good, there is some software issue on my laptop that's i need to reinstall my Operating system and for that i need to get into bios and make the first boot device as DVD ROM but when i am trying to go into BIOS it's saying to enter BIOS password and i don't have any idea that i have set such kind of password, for that i need to reset my BIOS for my Dell laptop does anyone has any idea how to do it ?
If you really want to reset your BIOS password then remove your power cord out and also your battery too and the with a jumper grounded one end anywhere on chassis touch the VCC pin on the rom chip and any other chip which contains CMOS on your particular motherboard, this will clear your BIOS password, i have have try to do that and i worked out fro me hope it works for you too.
I won't suggest you to do such kind of things it might happen that it would burn out or damage your laptop too in such case the best solution is to call Dell support center because every laptop has a master password which will clear the BIOS password. You can get this number by calling Dell Technical Support at (800)624-9896 over where they will request you to provide the Service Tag and Express Service Code from the bottom of your Inspiron.
If you really want to reset your BIOS password then you can also check out the below links which was very helpful for me hope your issue will also get solved.
