The BIOS-password exists for _your_ protection; if a thief is in possession of your computer, the password prevents the thief from using the stolen computer.

As the owner of the computer, find the original sales-receipt, to prove ownership, and telephone Dell, to get assistance from Dell to bypass that password.

hi you will need to call dell @ 1 800 822 8965 - dell can provide a default password for that. after entering your default password hold down ctrl press enter twice it will disable the password.
