I bought a used Dell Latitude E4310 that I want to replace Windows7 on with Fedora-22. Unfortunately the BIOS is locked and I do not have the admin password for it. A phone call to Dell was unproductive and none of the passwords offered in an on-line application work. Does anyone know what I can do to access this computer. I can return it, bought through Newegg, but it looks good so far, in new condition and the price is right. It even has a working battery.<br>
<br>
I considered opening it and removing the bios battery which I assume would return it to the default conditions which I believe is no password set.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions appreciated,<br>
<br>
