If you have forgotten the Windows password:

A forgotten windows password can be problematic.

If you have windows XP HOME edition, boot to the SAFE MODE (Press F8 during boot to get startupmenu) select the ADMIN account (Password should be blank) Once inwindows, go to Control Panel, User Accounts and reset the password onthe effected account.

If you cannot perform the above, then this link has the best listing of recovery suggestions I've found:

If you need to change a forgotten BIOS password, you will need to contact Dell Technical Support for a BIOS Master Password.

For recovering Windows login Passwords in safety, I tend to recommend software Windows Password Seeker. Not just support XP/Vista/2000/NT, but also compatible with windows 7, it works perfectly to remove Windows login Passwords. I wrote it to a USB flash drive. Booting up and clearing my password in just 4 minutes. You can Search Windows Password Seeker or download it from: http://www.passwordseeker.com

Dell Latitude D820 Notebook HOW TO SHORT JUMBER IC FOR BIOS PASSWORD REMOVAL

Ajmal,

On laptop systems you would not use the jumper to reset a bios password. To reset the bios password you will need to contact Dell Support. They will verify ownership of the system and then provide you with information on resetting the bios password.

Thank You,

Contact Dell tech support 800-624-9896 (USA) confirm you are an authorized user of the system and they will assist with generating a master password, There is no universal password or jumper to manually reset it, you have to contact Dell.

Dell latitude d820 can't get intothe bios set up screen

The BIOS password is stored in CMOS memory which is attached to the motherboard. If you remove this battery, all CMOS information (including the BIOS password) will be lost. You will need to re-enter the correct CMOS setup information to use the machine.

Hope you find this information usefull.
your feedback is appreciated.

The administrative password is different in the bios settings

You can reset the password easily by removing the battery which will clear the CMOS. If you aren't comfortable doing this, perhaps you can find someone who will do it for you. It's not hard to do, and you won't hurt anything as long as you unplug the computer and discharge any static from your body. (Just touch something metal - like the rails on your desk or something else.)
