Syed,

I don’t know much about the laptop.

I’m assuming, when you say boot setting is locked, you mean the BIOS is password protected?

Removing the CMOS battery, in a laptop, isn’t always going to help you out.

[FONT=Helvetica Neue][COLOR=#000000]Removing the CMOS will have no effect as the [COLOR=#366388]bios password[/COLOR] is stored on an EEPROM which does not require power to keep the information. You need a [COLOR=#366388]bios master password[/COLOR] that can be calculated by your service tag. The Dell bios master password will clear any set bios password allowing you full access to the bios.

Syed,

I would also look into this utility, [url]http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1952.dell-client-configuration-toolkit-cctk.aspx[/url]. We run the full Latitude lineup where I work, this is what I use when I need to make changes “enterprise” wide to machines. I package BIOS settings with this utility and push them out through our deployment software. (Unfortunately, it’s not FOG).
