The least most secure is erasure of the data. This is generally recoverable, at some expense and effort, by a knowledgable technician. And, of course, most unsecure is to not even erase the data. In some cases (e.g.: a "bricked" PDA), this is the only option, unfortunately.

the OP said that he needs this so dell doesn't read his client's data. now, I have serious doubts that dell will go out of their way to read some random person's data. if it were just sitting there with no security whatsoever, I guess some bored, nosy staffmember might take a gander at it, but if there's a password, why go to such lengths?
