I bought it from a pawn shop for $400.00 now it wants a password
The person who owned it before you has probably put a bios password in the computer locking you out. I strongly recommend you take it back to the pawn shop and get your money back, or the seller gets a hold of the customer to get the required information, because without it the laptop is useless to you.

On alot of motherboards, and I don't know if I would have access to this one or not, there is a set of 3 pins coming out of the board itself, usually with a jumper on 1-2 position. Somewhere next to them, maybe some text like PWD CLR ? Usually, moving the jumper to 2-3, clears the password on the BIOS, as a failsafe back up. If it does look, 'comfortably' like that, don't change anything else. It usually takes only a minute, under battery power, to clear it. Once done, move the jumper back to the 1-2 position.
If you don't see it clearly, write back and I'll see if my Technician access allows for the detailed info. Also, please include the Model # amd Make of your Dell unit.
