Overriding Dell BIOS Password



 Howdy, 

So my friend has been running into problems with a semi-old dell machine 
and a BIOS password that has been long forgotten (inherited machine). Calling 
Dell tech support didn't help (they couldn't prove that they didn't 
steal it, so they 
wont help them.. another plight in and of itself). 

So, short of getting a new motherboard, what can one do to override 
this nonsense?
