No boot laptop

I have a DELL model TS30G laptop with Windows 2000 Professional on it. I need to reset the password because it was forgotten. I can't seem to boot off the CD drive to reset the password. When I press F2 to go to setup, there are no selections to edit manually, just a screen with some Bios info on it. How can i get this machine to boot by CD rom drive?
