i'm assuming you mean that the system is asking for a password as soon as it is booted up prior to the operating system process.

it sounds like there has been a password set in the bios.

if you look at the document linked above from the dell support site.

click on system board configuration jumpers.

check the pswd setting.

hope this helps
