I have a dell Inspiron 1501 laptop I bought for my son about two years ago. Anyway I bought him a new one and have the Dell. I want to reset it to the original facory settings. I did the f8 thing and it asked for the Admonistrator password, I don,t have it. My son did'nt set it up. I have tried the passwords Dell and A153MM03J as per instructions, but they don't work. Is there anyway to reset or delet the hidden password to do the original task I set out to do? I really want to reset to the factory default setting. Someone please help me. Oh it is running Windows Vista.
Thanks in advance.
