is there a way to get around the BIOS password on a laptop, its a dell and i cant get inside (dont wanna break it and to many screws)

You gotta drain the cmos battery some how. If it's externaly accesable then your in luck. If not, then you'll have to open it.

how do i drain the battery?

Take out the CMOS chip.
Might take a while to get it drained.
Shorting the leads speeds things up a bit.
Otherwise, it might take up to two weeks, I heard.

you have to gut the laptop (get the ol'screwdriver out, and get to it!.....) find the cmos battery, pry it out of it's holder, wait 30 sec; put it back in. FISNISHED!

smart tip:
bring a digital camera. Take lots of pictures as you open her up, for referance when you close her.
