DELL Latitude CPi BIOS help

Hay everyone,

I have a Dell latitude CPi laptop, which I bought from another
person. Week ago, I wanted to do a clean installation; therefore, I
formatted the hard drive from a boot disk and inserted the CDROM with the
bootable windows CD in it. Someone has messed with the BIOS. I can't change
the boot sequence. I've tried using latitude.exe and the other password
identifiers. They didn't work. I disconnected the CMOS battery. It still
doesn't work. What should I do? I need master passwords for config password
and admi password. Post the reply here or email me.

PLS anyone help me. I have a lot of homework to do.

Thank you.

It's actually pretty simple. Just call Dell and provide proof of ownership
and they'll give you the password.

From your statement, it obviously boots from a floppy disk. What about
using the Windows setup disks to complete your OS installation?

It won't solve your password problem, but it will get you up and running.

Errrrrrrrr F12 and choose boot from CD
