Confused old Dell pc asking for system password?

My sister-in-law was given an old Dell PC and when u turn it on it asks for the system password. She doesn't know it and when I called Dell for help they wanted to charge me 50. because the warranty is up. Is there another way around this? It's an old Dell DV051 series.

Re: old Dell pc asking for system password?

Welcome to TSF

Unfortunately, TSF will not provide any user with information or about the location of websites that may assist with the following activities:

† software pirating
† hacking
password cracking
† keystroke recording software
We will also not offer advice, assistance or instruction with regard to any of the above activities, illegal or otherwise.

Reformat the computer is the best advise I can give at this point.
