When you open the case (facing the front), on the bottom left of the motherboard you will see some jumpers and the board will be labeled (albeit very small). Remove the jumber on the label "passwd" and you should be able to boot normally and even access the BIOS. I had the same problem and did this with success.

Re: dell optiplex gx1

I inherited one of these too. Dead. Power would turn fans, but no boot activity. No Flash screen to monitor. I pulled all the memory Simms Out of it and turned it on. This forced the BIOS firmware to beep complaint codes. Put one 256Meg Simm back in. Then it posted Dell Flash Screen on power up - and F2 to enter Bios Setup.
