Idiotic problem with Dell P1130 monitor

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

If you can't access the OSD (On Screen Display) to get to the Option or
Reset menus, you are screwed. Did your IT department lock the monitors so
you couldn't mess with them? Grab your IT guy and have him unlock the
thing.

The OP is not able to access the On Screen Display (OSD) to make the
necessary changes.
