Hello, the other day my friend was attempting to help me flash my Dell Inspirion 1525 PP29L's Neprom to reset or clear the dell password that was set on the motherboard because I locked myself out... and...

You are not looking for a chip on the motherboard, you can reset your motherboards CMOS password by removing the circular silver battery (which should come out very easily) and then replacing it. Many motherboards also have a series of pins with covers on them that can be orientated to reset the CMOS, try checking your computers manual for those. Its not recommended that you remove any chips from your motherboard. Hope this helps.

I replaced my harddrive in my dell inspirion 1525, rebooted put operating system cd in ,it loaded but now no sound or the internet, the laptop is on a network in my house

You need to install the Dell's device drivers ie. audio, LAN driver ets.
You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, thesupport download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop,better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on thebottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Taglabel is missing then go into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages,the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where thespecific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you selectthe Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operatingsystem. Click on this link to download the drivers: - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen

Locked out by password on dell inspirion 1525 how do i re install vista

If you have the vista disk, then just put it into the drive, and reboot. You may need to change bios boot order, which can be done by pressing f8 as the computer starts up, and selecting the dvd drive. If this does not work, then please refer to your user manual for the correct key to press. If you can boot, then the installation is self explanatory. Give it you country and keyboard layout, and then when the screen shows "install vista" button, undeneath it is a repair vista button link. Click this, and select your existing installation. From there it may ask you about "system restore" press cancel, and then hopefully, it will restore.  Hope this helps.
