For most Dell Optiplex desktops, the steps to reset a BIOS password and clear all CMOS settings are:
Locate the 3-pin CMOS password reset jumper on the system board.
Remove the jumper plug from pins 1 and 2.
Place the jumper plug on pins 2 and 3 and wait approximately 5 seconds.
Replace the jumper plug on pins 1 and 2.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
