You could always use bartpe
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
Takes about 10 minutes to complete the entire build process. Enusre you build a bootable ISO and you can install the operating system "live" Loads the operating system into memory and does not touch the local HDD's.
build your own custom version, make sure you include the latest version of Windows Password Renew 1.0-RC2 for WinPE.
http://www.sala.pri.ee#pass
"Password Renew lets the user change the password of the local Administrator account or create a new admin level user with a password of their choice. This is a great tool for getting into Windows boxes you don’t have an admin password for"
This tool must be used wisley.
Forgetting a password Admin or otherwise is never a major problem.
Phreek ;-)

DJSILVERMAN, there is not an easy fix for you.
The best way to fix your problem is to contact Dell tech support. You will have to prove that you purchased the machine for them to help you. If you bought it from someone else, you may have to do a transfer of ownership. Their support can provide you with the master password for your machine based upon the Service Tag on the machine.
An alternate solution is that I have a piece of software that may allow me to find that password for you. Can you tell me what your service tag is (make sure you tell me the complete service tag)?

the service tag is 6TSYW31. I took the laptop apart, disconnecting the CMOS battery hoping that it erase the temporary password, i stripped the laptop to the bone, sitting with only the mainboard any nothing else but it in my hands. After assemling the whole thing, pushed the on button, same thing. I have the option of pressing F1 and F12 but if i do, it askes for an administrative password. That is why i thought it would be on the CMOS. I did not find any jumpers or dip switches to reset that.
please help.
