at the log in,

press Control, alt, delete

do that twice.. you'll be at another login.. type administrator and log in.. since it's a dell you may not have that account..

in that case the only other way I know of is to boot with EBCD and remove the password.

I've seen this a few times, and it's not always that simple. When it happened to me, even after i changed the password with a linux boot disc, it didn't log in. I think it's a windows fault, in that it's missing a link between the password and the log-in module. Even repairing windows doesn't work. i had to do a full format. Hopefully the first guy helped, but if not, good luck!
