To use the jumper to reset the BIOS password

NOTE: On the Dell Manuals web page, download the Setup Guide or Service Manual for your computer. Then refer to the System Board Components section for a labeled illustration of the jumpers on the system board.
Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent scratching your computer's cover.
With your computer still turned off and unplugged, remove your computer's cover.
To locate the password jumper on the motherboard, look for the letters PWD, PSWD or PSWDCLR.
Choose an option:
If there are 2 metals pins under the jumper

Remove the jumper from the pins, replace the computer cover, reconnect the power cable and monitor and turn on the computer.
After the Windows logon screen appears, turn off the computer.
Again, disconnect the power cable and monitor. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to release static electricity from the system.
Remove your computer cover.
Replace the jumper in its original position covering the 2 pins. This will re-enable password feature.
Replace the computer cover.
Reconnect the power cable and other connections and turn on the computer.
