A lesson to be learned from this:

1) get the service tag and call Dell to be sure it's clear before you buy,
and

2) if you are buying the machine locally, verify that it can actually boot
to Windows.

Try pulling the CMOS battery for a day. Also scan the web for PW crackers.
As a last resort, check out the system for remnants of the past owner and
see if you can contact them.

Maybe that should tell you something. Not that all pawn shops are bad, but I
would be very cautious of buying a laptop at a pawn shop. If the pawn shop
is legit, they should be happy to contact the previous owner for you and
obtain the password. <nsrascal2(a)ns.sympatico.ca> wrote in message

For that matter, send me the pawn shops name and address. I can offer
them a deal on a nice little system for collecting seller IDs and data
basing it all. I receive a nice little quarterly check for being part of
the development team that created a system for collecting such data and a
central law enforcement accessible database. It can collect seller's
picture, scan proof of ID, fingerprint (add on option), and signature. It
ain't cheap, but then any stolen goods found in a pawn shop are confiscated
without compensation, so it's an investment to prevent future loses.
