dell d610 reset bios admin password

Hi, I'm new to this forum and not a tech person. I got a Dell D610 from Ebay from a guy who got it from a guy and so on....Now, I'm trying to install Windows XP and I have to change the Boot Sequence, but I can't do it as it is locked and while I'm in BIOS and I want to change it it asks me for Admin Password. Any idea on how to reset the password would be really appreciated.
Thank you

If the person you bought it off doesn't know, then you should be thinking "was this stolen?".
