OT Password problem -

[Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA]

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.

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.

Any suggestions appreciated,

Bob
