Any cure for Tags ending with 595B

@tentmaker

sorry I didn't want to annoy you... Then the password is stored somewhere else as in the CMOS.
This invalid system configuration may be caused by any expansions in PCMCIA or MiniPCI slots. If not, the Bios can not handle or assign IRQ to the (on board) devices.
Best to return and/or swap it if possible.

@tentmaker: are you talking about the bios password which disables changes to be made inside the bios or the system password which would let you boot the laptop?

Unfortunately, 99.9% certain NOT to work.

yes, its 100% not working for 'sarahwright' and every grey screen else but its 100% working if its the bios configure password (the one that disables changes inside the bios).

The password is the system password, I can't do anything, can't boot off a floppy or cd-rom, can't enter bios or anything.

I assume it is set in bios

Thanks

thats too bad. if the guy you repair the laptop for is the legal owner you or him/her could call dell and let them give you a masterpassword. if your friend is not the legal owner or can't proof it you have 3 choices...

- wait for the guys here (rustham or predator25)
- go to the website mentioned in the other thread and check the shorting documentation (maybe your model is included there)
- go to ebay or spunlock.xxx (not sure) and buy a password

sorry, I would rather be more helpful
