I called them today about just this subject before I found this thread and the transfer of ownership option was immediately relayed to me. I know this topic has been dead a long time, by the look of it, but as a Dell buyer myself (I love Dell notebooks) I have to tell you guys that Dell is second to none when it comes to customer relations.
DELL BIOS UNLOCK PASSWORD
If you have questions you can write to Cannot Unlock Bios Password On Dell Latitude speedster (Programmer) 15 Nov 01 20:03 I provide at least two a day and deny many more, and the people who are buing them from auctions still seem afraid to go fill out the ownership forms. Once it's yours, simply call in and request a bios password. If they don't exist, they have six weeks to write back, or the system becomes yours. I looked up several of the tags posted in here, and if you don't have customer information for the system's original owner, just do the transfer of ownership form on the web and someone at Dell will contact the original owner and find out if the system is missing or was sold off.

If a HDD password is set, it will even prompt for that if you pop the hard drive out and slide it into another machine.
DELL BIOS UNLOCK CODE
Been through all these posts and wanted to let you guys know that any relatively new Latitude or Inspiron laptop will have a unique master password generated by the code that appears when you boot the system.
