Here's a link to a site where you can download "CmosPwd". It's free. It claims to be able to determine master passwords on machines such as yours. I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for it.
CmosPwd - CGSecurity (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd)
In the past, we used to simply remove the CMOS battery or disconnect it from the computer (often a jumper) and short the CMOS connections (also a jumper) to reset the CMOS memory back to its default. The usual default is no password. This may still be able to be done if CmosPwd doesn't work.

Most dells use the service tag to generate a bios password.
