Format the hard drive, and install whatever version of Windows that you use.

It sounds like a BIOS password. You can try Dell as the passord, they used to use that on some of their computers. For a desktop you usually remove the CMOS battery or short out a jumper, but laptops are different. You may have to contact Dell or even send it in to get it reset.
