If this does not work then one, change is necessary which is, as the computer is restarting ,Press F11 and CTRL together and follow the on screen instructions. Some times the key combination is different so try F10 if the above does not work. good luck

That is difficult if it is asking for that. Normally you can start the laptop and right after you see the Dell splash screen press the F11. That should bring up the restore menu by passing any security you have setup. From there you can select to restore the computer to factory settings. If you have the restore DVD's then you can put the first one in the DVD drive and boot the computer and it should start from the DVD instead of the hard drive. Now, these will all work if you haven't setup security in BIOS requiring an Admin password. If you setup the BIOS passwords then you are going to have to try and reset the BIOS. Not impossible but a little harder. Remove the power cord, remove the battery and open the covers on the bottom of the computer. Under one of those you should see a small battery, remove that battery and keep it out for 60 seconds. put everything back in place and restart the computer and the BIOS should reset.
