What's the version of your Windows OS? You can use the most freeware Offline NT & Password Registry, or other recovery tools:

The last resort is to perform a clean install or restore it to factory defaults.

Will it boot into the operating system or is it stuck at the bios password?
If it is the Windows administrator password then I'll need more information such as what version of Windows you are on. If it is Linux then let me know.

If it is stuck with a bios/boot password then you'll need to reset it by removing the CMOS battery for a few seconds. This will clear any settings in the BIOS setup.

Bios password generator dell inspiron 1545

BIOS passwords can be reset in two ways:

1. using software 2. using hardware.

I would first try resetting using software, here are two software apps to reset or retrieve BIOS passwords.

!BIOS - is a PC BIOS toolkit offering password removal/decrypt and BIOS settings modification/backup/restore.
You can download it here:
http://www.syschat.com/download120.html

CmosPwd - Cmos password recovery tools
http://www.syschat.com/download121.html&act=down

You will need to create a bootable Dos, or Linux or NT cd in order to run them.

Good Luck!

What is the default password for Dell Inspiron running windows vista

Well, forgot Dell windows password?

I don't know Dell's default password, however I know how to reset the windows vista password.

Three ways:
1. Another valid administrator account which can normally log on.
2. A password reset disk or a repair disc, which is created in advance ( before you lost password ).
3. Third-party software to create a bootable password reset CD/DVD or USB, like Windows Password Reset .

Hi i am using Dell inspiron 1545 laptop. I unable toenter in Bios. how to break administrator password in dell inspiron 1545 laptop

there is no default password for that you will need to open up the laptop and remove the cmos battery inside to bring the bios back to its factory settings (without password). sometimes tho dell will add password , dell , or admin as a password. but thats usually for laptops and pcs they sell in bulk to businesses
PLEASE let me know if this helped and sorry for the bad news about having to open up the laptop
