Laptop Bios Admin Password lost. How can I recover.

From what I understand, Dell Laptops do not have anyway of reseting the password via jumpers or batteries. You will have to call them up, they will verify your indentity (as owner of that particular Dell) and then they will give you a master password to access the BIOS and change the password. So it looks like you will just have to give them a call.

Only way to have dell BIOS passwords reset is to go to Dell, But you need to take proof of ownership with you.

There are no jumpers on Latitude motherboards, the only way to get the BIOS password is to call Dell tech support, make sure you have the comapny name, user name, address and the codes that are given on the BIOS password screen, it will usually have the service tag in it with asterisks, they will be able to give you the password, and if they cannot open it, they will replace the motherboard, if you open your system, your SOL.
