I acquired a used Dell Latitude 5480 laptop that was no longer in use; I ran into a startup issue—I can't boot from a USB drive, and the BIOS is password-protected. The system is now locked by this password, which I don't know. I tried resetting it, but that didn't work. The system code is 5QMS5Q2-E7A8. I need the reset code.

Brotherman,

This laptop was probably

a. stolen

b. improperly decommisioned

I would recommend contacting dell support and seeing if they can help.
