Recently I've become unable to log into my Dell Precision M2400.

It uses the Dell Controlpoint login GUI instead of the typical windows one, and has now started giving me a runtime error on winlogon.exe that ends with a c000021a BSOD.

I have tried running through safe mode and a restore to the last known good setting with no success.

Unfortunately by BIOS password is locked and the one IT guy with the password is on vacation and unreachable until after I leave for a business trip.

Is there anyway to bypass the Dell logon screen and get to the default windows one?

Thanks.
