Someone was staying with us and left a Dell Inspiron M5030 over a year ago.
I'd like to restore it, but it has an admin pw and I can only get so far when I try to restore it.
Is there a way to see if there is a built in partition with restore sw, and if so, do the restore, even though it has the admin pw?

Is that on the BIOS or the OS install?
If you can't get past the BIOS admin password, we out here can't help you.
