You need to enter the bios when it powers up and disable the power saving settings.
I think its the f11 key or del key to enter the bios immediately you see a display screen when you switch it on then navigate to the power saving settings area in the bios.
This is a problem with the BIOS of your laptop. You can do a BIOS upgrade by downloading the updated BIOS from the laptop manufacturer's website. If you close the lid and your laptop goes to sleep mode, your downloads will be halted since you system will go on to power savings-mode (most nics are disabled during this mode). What you can do is let your laptop sit during downloads but change the power savings mode to always on (RC on desktop>properties>screensaver>power>power scheme is always on).
If the password is on power on this would have been setup through the bios setup.
Would need to go into setup and then I believe boot somewher in there will be user password you can disable this and hit F10 to save and exit.Or may be supervisor password which you can try and disable again hitting F10 to save and exit.
If it's the windows password you can log on in safe mode and sign in as administartor then go to user accounts and remove user.
First you need to make sure that there are no other removable devices plug on the system, like usb, external hard drives, then if that will work try to go to the bios, press f2 when you see the dell logo, and go to the system setup, go to the boot device configuration and make sure that removable device is not the first boot device, if it is the first one choose hard disk and then second boot device ad cd rom/dvd rom and then disable the 3rd boot and the fourth boot device. Make sure to save the changes. And restart the system again. Once the computer is back and running try to go to support.dell.com and check the bios, download if there is a bios update for the system.
