Every motherboard has a set of jumpers, changing what pins they are on with reset the bios.
TO do that though you will have to look up the motherboard or post it here
OR just remove the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes and put it back in but other then that's there's no way to do it without actually opening it up

Computers generally don't have a passworded BIOS, those are set by whoever owns it. In your case the school district. It wouldn't hurt to see if there is a default password but I highly doubt there is

Well I did some googling and this is what I got:
You must login or register to view this content.
It's not specific for your version but if you continued to look up something along those lines it could exist. Or you could even just try runnig it. Make sure you actually read the thread though.
Also you could try Dell as the password. That tends to be a backdoor password for the bios. Not entirely sure if that is going to work though

From what I've heard BIOS passwords are one of the hardest passwords to break. Though bypassing it or something could work. I'll try look for you, or are you already done?
Good luck man
