Disabling a forgotten password
The system's software security features include a system password and a setup password. The password jumper enables these
password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in use.
Prerequisites
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and
simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support
team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety
instructions that are shipped with your product.
Steps

3.
Move the jumper on the system board jumper from pins 2 and 3 to pins 1 and 2.

new password(s) the next time it boots.
