The three possibilities are: you are the legal owner, you are not the legal
owner, or you think you are the legal owner and got suckered on e-bay.
Dell will help you defeat the password only if you are the first. Otherwise
you need to chip the computer. I've heard a general rule that it is cheaper
and more effective to toss a Dell desktop mb than to chip it. Can't say
about a $2500 laptop, tho. Seeing as it is a new model, I bet it will be
a bitch to find a replacement rom.
I password protected the mb and drive on my own D800 for pretty much the
same reasons. Good news is that it is a kick ass laptop if you can get it
working.
