How to reset the CMOS password on Dell Laptops

Dell Laptops have a master password which will clear the BIOS password. Dell Technical Support at (800)624-9896 will supply this password to the registered owner. The Master password is derived from the Dell Service Tag.

Christophe Grenier has written a program that will calculate the master BIOS password for Dell Latitudes from the Service Tag number. http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~skynet/zips/latitude.exe.
