Try asking on the Dell forum, they can be quite helpful.

Try password: Dell or look here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd

Thanks, I did come across that page whilst googling but I'm not sure what I need to do with it.

Did 'Dell' work?

No Dell didn't work.

I went into setup and put a password on then tried to log in using that but it still wouldn't work.

That's the bios password.

I have tried the suggestion in post #2 and burnt the CD. However, my laptop won't let me change it to boot from the CD it tells me its locked and I need to enter the password to change the boot order. Is there anything else I can try please.

Enter the password you changed above.

I tried that as well but it didn't work. I have removed the bios password now.

How did you do that? Are you able to change the boot order now?
