I have also met such situations on my DELL a few days ago, and I friend David who is an IT engineer helped me reset windows password with a tool called Windows Password Reset , just need a few minutes I can log on my computer normally without password.
I think it can help you too.
Hmm is the data and operating system on that disk important
unless you can figure out hard drive password only option is to format that drive
do you have an operating system or recovery disk for that dell?

I believe I can help you. Is this a Windows password after it boots up, or is this a bios power on password before it boots? The bios password on a Dell is generally on a white screen when it's first powered. Get back to me, and I'll get you thought this.

That white screen is asking for your bios password. You probably set that the last time you did changes in the bios. If you bought the laptop second hand and the previous owner forgot to give you the password, contact him, or if you can not and/or do not remember the password you set, you have to contact dell, and they can give you a password for it, is no problem for a computer you own. You can chat to them here:

They're gonna ask you for the original owner information before they'llhelp you though. If you don't have the original information (ie youbought it second hand or off someone), you'll have to do a transfer ofownership. You need to give them the service tag and the express servicecode, that are on a sticker somewhere on the computer (bottom in case oflaptops). Enter the info in the required previous owner fields. Enterall your contact info and submit. It should transfer in a few minutes. Here's the link:

Let me know if this helped:)
SOURCE: how do you solve blue screen stop 7b in lattitude
blue screen errors are usually from a malfunction of the ram memory ...an fatal error of the system ...or a change of hardware without re-installation ...so ..if you know that your system its intact and has to work ...usually re-installation of the operating system ...I mean a brand new one ...not repair or upgrade...but one with formatting C partition ...will fix this problem ...also restore bios settings to the factory optimal defaults

Correct me if I am wrong but AV 2010 is a virus iteself so the previous advice is actually bogus.
First off turn off any system restore you have as this one can hide in there and start itsel every time you restart the computer.
You should rule out nasty stuff first.
MBAM !
for a free one its pretty darned good !
From a CLEAN computer download and put on a flash drive.
Start in safe mode by repeatedly pressing F8 during boot up ans electing Safe Mode
Copy MBAM to your DESKTOP on the suspect computer.
Run it but dont change any options just use what it offers.
When its done let it clean anything it finds.
Its where I always start with an infected machine.
As for antivirus AVOID Norton or Mcafee but try the AVG FREE version MBAM should clean up without buying
Only continued use would require purchase As for too many applications that would be up to you to decide what you REALLY need and dont. Most toolbars are a waste of both time and space and can hog computers down. Maybe a good clean up is in order ?
May I suggest you download "hijackthis"
It is a program that can make a report on what you have running in such a way that you can post that information to certain sites and experts there will look at it.
They will then give you reccomendations as to how you can remove programs or fix some issues that may be upsetting your computer.
Dont post the log here but follow the nstructions and help the program offers to send it to one of the sites it will offer you.
If you understand startup lists you may even be able to spot som things yourself that you dont want to run and disable them from hijack this.
That is a nasty bit of software you have and if it has gotten too deep you may even have to re-install everything.

I recommend a complete reinstall of windows, here is how you should proceed:
- First you need your product license key for XP, did you get any winXP CD's or manuals? The product key may be located on a sticker found on them, sometimes with preinstalled laptops, a product license key may be located on underside of the device on a microsoft-labeled sticker, write it down on a piece of paper.
* No sticker or torn/unreadable sticker? Then do following (best suited for intermediate-advanced users, if you are a beginner you could ask a friend for help) :
** If you have access to a friends computer for instance, you can use that to create password recovery/bypass media, like a CD or USB stick, read more on http://www.recoveranypassword.com/recover/windows-password-recovery/
** After bypassing the windows logon, install and use The Magical Jellybean Keyfinder, found from
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ , dig out that product
license and write it down on a piece of paper.
- Now that you have your product license key, insert the winXP install disc if you got one with the purchase, else you can borrow them from someone, the borrowed discs should be of version winXP Professional aswell. With CD inserted restart laptop and boot from CD/DVD device, different systems have different keys to enter Boot setup, typically any of the F1-12 keys must be pressed at the early stages of system startup, normally F11 but you may need to feel your way through it. Now that you booted with the setup disc you will recieve easy-to-follow instructions how to proceed.
- Laptop does not have CD/DVD device, or you don't have any winXP discs, and nobody to borrow them from?
Then you will need to install via an USB stick, It must be of size 2Gb or larger, you will also need a secondary computer to prepare the USB stick on. This process might seem long and difficult, and it might be for beginners, but an intermediate-advance user should get through it without much problems.
Search the web for detailed guides how to prep your device for the install, typically write in google "install windows xp from usb drive". You might get the winXP files from microsoft download center, or you might have to download them from 3rd party sites, note that your operating system will still be legit regardless where you got the files from, aslong as you have the product license key.
Hope this have shed some light on your problem. J.D.
