Most DELL Bios passwords will need a Dell technician to resolve, however you can generally reset the BIOS and CMOS settings by removing the CMOS battery on the motherboard for a while. (looks like a big watch battery).

This answer didn't help me but I solved the problem myself.I found the 3 pin connection on the motherboard and changed it from 1-2 to 2-3 and turned it on for a short time then put it back in the oringal spot.Then reset to default settings.Problem solved and it didn't have to go in for repairs.Thanks anyways.
