I have a laptop which I have completely locked myself out of and need help...here is what I did....

 

I wanted to boot into Ubuntu to test the wireless card and connections....

Went into BIOS and attempted to set to boot from usb but could'nt as needed password

Removed CMOS battery to try and reset

When power back on wants password to access data.......result One Friar sailing in a boat up a foul smelling creek with no method of propulsion...

 

Is there ANYTHING i can do to unlock the machine?

What brand is the WLAN card?

 

I heard the laptop is a Dell, what exact model is it?

 

Next thing to try is to delete all drivers of the card, run some cleanup utilities, use safe mode and shift ...

 

If you share those two details, I could try and see if I can think of a good cleanup procedure ... 

 

Keep on running Ubuntu?  :shaunhb:
