Came home to the kids had saved changes in the f2 setup and now IDK what to do.. I've already tried the clr cmos pins.. seen that the Dell manual maybe mislabeled.... But also pulled battery which leads me to here any help?
 
Solution
Unplug wall power, remove battery for 15 seconds, should reset it to defaults. Only thing that this will not fix is if a password was set on the hard drive, that you can't reset without help from Dell.
