Hi. If you were gifted or bought the machine second hand, then the previous owner must have had activated the Bios Setup password - or you activated it your self and now have forgotten the password. You have the option of either taking it to your nearest Dell service center or any other worthy service center to have the issue addressed for you.


Hope that is helpful.
