Darrin Olson,
Removing the cmos battery will not reset the bios password on your laptop. You will need to call Dell Support for resetting the password.They will verify ownership of the system and then provide you with a generated bios password reset. The number to call is

Try removing the CMOS battery or if completely discharged try fitting a new one.

I remember seeing some video about this sort of thing on Youtube.

BIOS LOCKED

To unlock your BIOS you have to remove your BIOS battery for few minutes which is onboard, then replace the BIOS battery again on the motherboard will not only reset the BIOS password to default but will put all the BIOS settings to default. For which you will have to reconfigure your BIOS settings, but remember any wrong setting in the BIOS may damage your laptop.

To unlock bios on any labtops

If there is a password protected BIOS that you need to unlock or reset as the case may be, disconnecting the BIOS battery will reset it.
This will require you to open the case and pop the battery out and back in. If you can provide specific models, I'm sure we can locate a guide or post steps to accomplish this.
Alternatively, this guide covers several potential methods to accomplish this via software:

Bios password for toshiba A!35 2326 I am locked out of my laptop.

I don't think that it's possible to unlock it without resetting the bios.

This requires you to open your laptop, thus voiding the warranty. Better send it to Toshiba and ask them to reset the bios.

My acer aspire 5542g keyboard is locked, how do i unlock it?

Try using Fn + F7. It turns the touchpad on and off.

Another solution is maybe CMOS or BIOS has locked the keyboard and touchpad and that maybe resetting the CMOS/BIOS by jumper or removing the battery will unlock them.
