Laptop BIOS issue
Tried Googling this up and down and sideways, always gettng the same answers but not to this particular issue.
I have a Dell XPS laptop at work in one of the labs that somebody set up a password on the bios to prevent changes unless you unlock it.
I figured I could take out the CMOS battery and it would reset the bios.
Not sure if that worked because when I boot up now I get:
"Invalid Configuration Information - Please run SETUP Program".
I figured I could press F2 to go back in and make the changes needed but I don't get the F2 or F12 option it just goes to the "Invalid" error message.
I tried spamming F2 at boot up figuring it was coming up before I could see it but no success there.
I tried removing the battery, ram, Hard Drive, etc in attempts to rule any issues out.
