Subject: dell inspiron e1505
One of my friends has a dell inspiron e1505 that needs to be fixed. I want
to boot from the cd but it won't.
I turn it on and get the dell screen and it tells me to enter F2 for setup
or F12 for boot options. I want the boot options so I hit F12. Then it says
it is Preparing for one time boot menu. Then I get a screen that says

     This computer system, (serial number), is peotected by a password
authentication system. You cannot
     access data on this computer without the correct password.


     Please type in the system or administator password and press <Enter>.


Then it gives me three attempts at a password and then powers off. And if I
do nothing it powers of after about 30 seconds

Her password doesn't work.
If I press F2 it says that it is preparing to enter setup and then it does
the same thing as if I hit F12.
If I do nothing it is as if I hit F2 or F12.
Does anyone know of a backdoor into this computer or of a password that
will work?
