Re: Overriding Dell BIOS Password

Or find one of the MASTER passwords for that BIOS.  If pulling the 
CMOS doesn't work, one time I investigated how to recover from a 
failed BIOS upgrade I performed once on an important machine.  I 
tracked down a guy who said he could burn a replacement chip for me 
that would circumvent the BIOS security.  This is a popular way of 
getting around laptop security on some IBM devices...
