Dell hard drive password removal

Hi

there are 3 options for your problem.

1) scrap the drive its not, i repeat not possible to unlock one without losing the data on it.

2) do a google for "repair station" they unlock drives for a price but they get blanked in the process. (not all drives supported)

3) search the threads in the mobile computing section for a guy called Rustam, he can help you if you can pin him down.

oh yes there is a fourth option, go to my site www.ihatedell.info and read it.

Regards

Im confused..... password on dell C600

hi all,
im a bit confused! i have a Dell C600 which has a admin password, which i need disabled.
having spent a few days going through the posts on this site, i think there are 2, maybe 3 ways round this...
1/ short the chip
2/ get a password from a member called Rustam, if he can be found...
or 3/ download a file from ihatedell.com....

i dont like the idea of 1/
from what i can see Rustsam hasnt been around for a while...
and im well confused at what i need to download / run from the website...

can anyone point me in the right direction?

hi, thanks for your response.. i have looked at that, and i must be being thick, ive downloaded svctag, but seem to be unable to open it.
to be honest im not sure if thats the file i need?

Did you try "smellyalater" as the password?

I did call dell, and they told me to reset the jumpers (which i do not know where / even how to do) so, much help that was. And the background of why it is like this really isnt your business, but if you must know i lent it to my best friend "brother" so he could type out this report, and never returned it. And after all the court appearances i finally got it back like this.

lol sorry but not even the coffee makers at dell would tell to reset a latitude d820 with jumpers... but yeah right, it is not my business.

it so funny to read the bios pw stories here. anyways wish you good luck with getting the pw resetted. maybe you find some useful information here:

or some of the guys with the pw generators help you out. be aware that some of them charge you for that...

cheers

try this:
get a win-98 boot disk from here www.bootdisk.com
boot your system with this disk.
do fdisk
delete the partition that's already there
create partition
turn machine off
format the drive
then install xp or whatever.

Were is the epprom chip

I looked on the above site, and looked under the XPS models for the pic to show me were the chip is, so that I may short it out. The problem is. the pic that is posted is not the XPS m140. That pic shows both memory slots in the same place, and the chip on the side of the memory slots. On the XPS m140, you have one slot under the keyboard, and the 2nd on the bottom of the laptop. If anyone has shorted this model or has the knows the way to the chip, please help me get there!!! Or if i over looked the right pic on the site, please show me the correct pic, thanks again all!!

I never see that model you must open laptop and serch epp 24xx its easy to serch

If this is the password in the operating system (to boot into windows for example) then how to extract it will depend on the version of windows - please tell us.
If this is Dell password you need to contact Dell.
