You should have an option to create a restore disc when the system comes out of the box. That probably won't help you here.
If the system still has a warranty, Dell support should be able to send you a disc. I think, but not certain, that you can also order one if needed.
Otherwise, if the system still has the restore partion, you may be able to backup your data and reimage the system.
Failing that, any Windows 7 disc (either Dell or Microsoft branded) that matches your version should be able to be used to run a repair.

Dell sent me a support disk for Windows 7 32-bit, but only took a business day to get it. - gcarpenter 12 years ago

I had a similar issue when I got two Dell laptops in the mail. I was working on one, went to lunch, and came back and tried using the admin password from the first computer and locked the admin out before assigning rights to other users.
I just did a K image from the existing laptop. Took about an hour, but it worked.
