I acquired a Dell Optiplex GX620 from a defunct company that was security obsessed (20+ character passwords, etc.) and they locked the bios with a password.
After doing some research I came up with the following suggestions:
-Remove the CMOS battery for a long period of time which would supposedly clear all BIOS settings, including the password. DId it. Didn't work
-Try a number of manufacturer bios passwords as discussed here. DId it. Didn't work
-Use !BIOS to try to figure out the password. DId it. Didn't work
Part of the problem is that I think this is a proprietary Dell motherboard, so the countless Award or AMI motherboard passwords don't work.
All I want to do is install Windows 7 and I can't change the boot sequence! Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!
