that does not always work on laptops.

 

especially not dell/lenovo/hp business oriented laptops and maybe some business desktops also have protection against that.

Dell call Dell support and then they'll give you the secret combination to make it reset. Usually involves doing stuff with the power button

if it's a "secret combination" then i bet someone has made it public already - if not then someone should do so immediately.

It depends on the system. Some of the business class system from Dell, there is no secret combination, but rather the BIOS password takes 2 passwords. One that was set, and the other is a generated one based on the service tag. So you call Dell, they'll ask you for the service tag, and they have a password gen on their side, put it in, and give you that password.
