Did you call Dell to see if they'll help with your PW problem?
 
Actually i am in Papua New Guinea and this Laptop is secondhand from Australia you see, so i really didn't get it from Dell or their product sellers or whateva, so yes, the problem needs professional service.But they will not consider the fact of my situation so yeah.....
Dose any generous person have a Dell CPxh/j Mainboard manual i could have in order for me to reset the cmos jumper..... PLEASE.....
 
Did you try removing the CMOS battery for at least an hour?
