Neat

Ok, I managed to get the "BIOS" password cleared but now the hard drive has a password on it.. What do I do??

Gives me same white screen but for the hard drive and gives new #***01285910-595B

If anyone could please advise me as to what I should do next it would be most helpful, I have tested and the cdrom is now booting :) :) but hard drive has password on it :(
 
Is there a way to format this hard drive? I dont care about the data on it.. But I do not have the password. Is there a boot cd that can be used to clear out this hard drive? Erasing all data on disc and clearing out the password on it? Or is this password so much of a pain that the only fix is to replace the hard drive or be lucky enough for this Rustam fella to help a mute comper noob out..? Btw Rustam whoever you are if you help me out.. thanks in advance, anything you ever need from me let me know.

hello giorgi, there is another way to do it but you have to open the computer up... from what i've read there is no public generator for any 595B setups. I am not very computer savy and was able to do it without any troubles. I got the info from here http://homepage.ntlworld.com/judslat/paragon/ and it worked like a charm. Thanks paragon and whoever wrote it!!


I still need help with the hard drive if rustam is willing.

Thanks go to Paragon for that link I got it from him on this same topic. Just thought pointing it out might be of some assistance. Anyways I am in same position as you just fix'd the laptop yesterday but I got hdd issue. The only solution for the HDD is to replace it OR aparently there is a guy here by the name of Rustam (not sure on the spelling i mean no offense if i spelled it wrong i also suffer from insomnia and haven't slept at all) who might help us out.
 
Admin but no Primary

Hi Ididmyc600,

I'm wondering what the difference is between a primary and admin password. The ebayer I bought my laptop from gave me the admin password but didn't know the primary password. Will I need rustam to recreate a primary password or is it the same as the admin password? The HD isn't password protected (which is strange - I thought that would be the only thing that's worth protecting!).

So yes I can use my laptop but I really hate not being able to change the bios settings (is that all the primary password does?).

Thanks for such great info.

and heh, this old Dell latitude C800 rocks! It's 15" screen displays up to 1600x1200 - I'm amazed - I've never owned a monitor (CRT or LCD) that's ever been able to do that resolution and now I have a bonky old laptop that does it! Kewl!!!!

Hey that paragon site is very very informative. Put that with this forum I think I will try to sort this laptop out myself. Step by step hahaha...hope it works but I am going to set aside heaps of time before attempting.
being not very literate with computers I am wishing Rustam would sort the p/w for me...but life is busy and full of challenges so...onwards and upwards.:)

love this site...

my dell D 610

Hi rustam.
I am a Slovak student.Here is my story.Last year I've bought my first notebook:Dell D600.I was really satisfied until someone has stolen it :-(
So i must earn some money for another laptop.I 've decided to buy Dell D610.And here starts my problems.I must change some settings in BIOS but i am not able because the admin password is set on it.I have contact the man who sold it to me and he promise that he help me.But by this day there is no action.So I conntact dell support and they want from me to prove that I am the owner.But I can not prove it because this notebook was from bank and there is no way how to prove it.So then I have found some articles about password changing or reseting.But I do not want to cros the pins or similar actions.I am affraid that I damage the mainboard or chip.
So I think that you are the last chance how can I fix the problem.
Please help me.

my service tag is: GDQ932J-595B
express service code : 356-586-715-63
Thanks a lot
 
Dell Lat c610 configuration password not known please help rustam

Rustam,
I happened to here of your fame to help dell owners for a story, well here I go.
I needed a laptop for school, and I got one from ebay. My sister neede a laptop in a hurry, so I gave here mine, when i found another c610 on ebay.
Unfortunately this one has a password on the configuration, and I can't make changes to it. If what I hear of you is true, and you have the time i hope my story rates some help.
The Service Tag is : 7RVVL11 Express Service Code 16923604789

Thank you for any assistance
 
If your talking about the BIOS, then you got some work ahead of u. Either try to crack the password by entering some default password codes, like 12345 or admin, something to that effect... or you'll need to crack the thing open and reset the jumpers on the motherboard to reset the BIOS. Or, flash your BIOS and update it, but I'm not sure if you would need the password to do that, but I doubt it. Why do you need to get into the BIOS anyways?
 
I want to enable ir on the laptop, but the config settings in the bios have a pw on it, and I can't enable the ir.
 
BIOS password help!

Hi Rustam_

If you could help me with the BIOS password for my C610, I would greatly appreciate it.
The service tag is DXGXM0J-595B
Express service code is 303-219-962-11

I could make up an interesting story, but I'll give you the truth:

I bought the laptop on ebay from a company that refurbishes old laptops. It came with the system password, which allows me to access it and use it. However, I would like to make some changes to the BIOS (enable Infra-red, boot order etc) and this is locked by the admin password.

I hope you can help me

Thanks

You cannot reset a password on a DELL system by jumpers, batteries or flashing the BIOS etc.

The only method is with a code generator or by shorting the EEPROM as discussed here and in several other threads on TS Forum.

Please dont post this again as it just causes confusion for those who read it.

And yes I do know what I am talking about, I have been doing this for nearly a year now and run a website (found below).

Regards
 
Fun Fun Fun... at my new, gov't job, we got 50 Laptops (Dell 8000 and 8100) from the military, most with BIOS ADMIN passwords and configure setup disabled. I am not authorized to make eBay purchases, so I can't get the $13 .pdf. If someone could instruct me as to how I can remove the password, please let me know. I have 50 of these, and a couple with no passwords, and they work great! Here is a service tag of one with an ADMIN password...

service tag: H2XWD11
express service code: 37183169269

THanks for any help!
