This will do it:

It has been a long time since I needed it, because the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows does it a lot easier and better. (http://www.ubcd4win.com/)
W/O a CD though, that last options isn't viable.
Can you put the HD in a different machine that DOES have a bootable CD drive?

the administrative password is on the bios chip itself, at least thats what i think because i cant even get into the bios setup. i took the laptop apart until i sat with only the mainboard in my hand, disconected the CMOS battery and put everything back together again hoping the CMOS memory would be erased but it wasnt. I could not find any jumpers or dip switches on the board so now i am lost.
Easy way would be to use windows PE and install the harddrive in a different computer then use the program locksmith the come with (Windows PE) but try this tool at( http://www.loginrecovery.com/) never use it always use edr commander or linux boots disk to recover the password but heard it work There are aso Linux boot disks that have DOS and NTFS filesystem drivers and software that will read the registry and rewrite the password hashes for any account including the Administrators.
if your trying to clear the bios password the standard cmos clear using jumpers or the proceedure i explained above should work for any pc. just removing the cmos battery wont work you have to short the contacts. never fails.
if you're talking bout the windows admin password you need wininternals erd locksmith or PE with locksmith
by the way if you look around on the net you can find free downloads of tech manuals for your dell all quite legally and plenty of rescources that will give you good accurete info. try eserviceinfo.com
