Forgot BIOS/CMOS Password on Dell Inspiron 14 5420
Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5420, and I forgot my BIOS/CMOS password, which I had set as the boot password. Now, whenever I start my laptop, it prompts me to enter the password, and I can’t access the system.
My Service Tag is ***private info removed***. I’ve tried basic troubleshooting, like removing the battery and holding the power button, but the issue persists.
Is there a way to reset the BIOS password or generate a master password for my system? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, there is -- but you'll need to call Dell to have the password generated.
Be prepared to verify your ownership of the system (and unless the system is under warranty, there is a charge for a support call).
