    Hi People, It's been ages since I've been here but I really ran into a problem and I am at my wits end. I built a PC for a friends son. He had a Dell Dimensions 8400 which was a ballsy machine (With a GeForce 7800 GTX etc). I was given this unit as part payment.
    Now I have another good friend who needs a unit so I thought I'd give him this.....:-(

    Everytime I try to start it before it will post it asks me for a password (systems Password). Now the Previous owner is triping around India and Nepal and can't be contacted...

    I've cleared the bios with Jumpers
    I've cleared the bios by taking the battery out of the board and leaving the PC unplugged overnight

    The BIOS HAS BEEN CLEARED (there is a message telling me it is not configured and I need to get into setup) BUT IT STILLS ASKS ME FOR A PASSWORD.

    Does anyone know how to override and delete this paion in the XX&@%S

    Any and All help would be greatly appreciated
