thx

Rustam,

I tried to post a private message and your mailbox was full. I am in great need of a system password. A friend of mine, a pastor at a church, had one of the members set the system password for the laptop. He really needs this laptop to prepare his sermons. The Service Tag is 7sefi**-595b. Any help would greatly appreciated!

Since your laptop still has -d35B Password and Service Tag, try this one kpnhay4d from Latitude Master_PW V2.20. Type it in with caplocks off and do not capitalize the letters, press CTRL and then press Enter 3 times.

Hi Rustram, I hope you can help me & would be eternally gratefull if you could. My story starts with a lightening strike killing my sons laptop. As he needs this for his schooling, it was devestating. So I bought a second hand Dell Inspiron 8100, as I am on a sickness benefit (cancer), & everything was working fine. Then my son in his infinate wisdom decided to Password protect everything & forgot the password. So we are now locked out & have no access. Tried Dell, but as It is second hand & the previous owner is overseas now, they denied me any help. Tried the "Paper Clip Method" & Yes I do get the "Manufacturing Mode Level (FF)" screen, but Fn-X does not clear it & it goes back to the grey screen. I have tried HUNDREDS of times & can get the MM screen everytime, but still no Fn-X.

The Asset Tag ID #4G72B0J-595B
The HD #68068LL4444-595B

Many Thanks in advance...
When the Manufacturing MODE screen appears, continue holding the short in place for another minute or so to completely clear the chip. If the grey screen comes back any way, the Timing for applying the short is not quite right. I have cleared 2 8100s, an 8200 and about a dozen I8000/C800s using this method and it works.

Hi Paragon33, Thank you very much for the quick reply. I have tried what you suggested & have mixed results. Incidentally, I can get to MM with the combinations of pins, 4/5 4/6 3/6 3/5 & 2/5. Pins 4/5 shutdown laptop after the MM Screen has displayed for 15 secs (with short applied). Pins 4/6 send the laptop into a black screen,after MM screen, with a flashing cursor on top left & does not shut down laptop, however nothing happens after 90 secs of holding short. Pins 3/6 & 3/5 have same result as 4/5. Pins 2/5 have same result as 4/6. Also when the grey screen appears, applying any of these shorts starts the fan while it is applied. The chip has 24c02W6 - 9132c written on it. I thought that when it went into Manufacturing Mode, we would be looking for Level 1, wheras I get Level (FF) ? Is this pertinent at all ?
Thanks so much & I hope your knee surgery has/will gone/go smoothly :)

Hi Rustam:
It appears you are the go to guy for HDD lock passwords on dell computers. Here is my story. I fix computers for people and I got a Dell laptop that needed a power connector soldered back to the Mother board. I have done that exact procedure about a dozen times and never came across this problem before. After restoring the power connector I boot up computer and low and behold the dreaded HDD lock screen appears and asks for a password. Tried all passwords I can think of and none worked. But, I am able to go into the BIOS settings reset the computer to Default settings and boot up with no problem untill you turn off the computer and get the HDD lock screen again. Obviouly I can get into the hard drive by jumping though hoops but it would be nice to just turn it on and have it work right.

It will not work with -595B passwords for certain as I tried it repeatedly before starting the shorting procedures. It is attached though in a .zip file

Level (FF) is what I get. When you get that screen and it persists, when you get the black screen and cursor, reboot the laptop and try to boot into DOS with the DST software and run it.
A gent in CA sent me a I8100 which he had shorted following the instructions and which gave him all sorts of problems afterward. There are some BIOS versions for the I8100 boards(A07 for one) which apparently are easily corrupted. The I8000 boards also suffer from the same problem. In his case, the laptop would boot into BIOS and show all drives present and enabled, but not one of them would boot. I even tried a DOS bootable HDD
with a later BIOS version in both the primary caddy and a 2nd HDD Module, in addition to BIOS flash versions using the Floppy and CDDrive. No BIOS Flash was possible and eventually one of the I8100 boards I recovered ended up in his I8100. Two of the I8000 boards I recovered had the same problem, but fortunately they had socketed BIOS chips and I was able to plug them into a different board and flash the chips to the latest BIOS version. When I returned them to the boards, the boards functioned completely normal. The I8100 board had a soldered BIOS Chip and no such remedy was possible. This may have nothing to do with your problem, but is included to show weird things sometimes happen with no logical explanation.

Thanks Again, I tried what you suggested, but still no go. I guess I have not quite found that "Sweet Spot" yet. I thought when the MM screen comes up, I had hit the sweet spot or it would shutdown/grey screen. As you said in previous reply, weird things can sometimes happen between revisions of bios.

i have the same problem ive broght a second hand dell latitude D400 laptop and it ask for administrator password or primary and i tryed 2 contact dell bt no help can you help please

his computer system, #JZ7W81J-595B, is protected by a password authentication system" LATITUDE D800

My latitude d400 has also got a password authentication system is there anythink i can do

In his case, the laptop would boot into BIOS and show all drives present and enabled, but not one of them would boot.

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but is included to show weird things sometimes happen with no logical explanation.

Hello again Paragon33. Well I have finally unlocked the Laptop. I had run out of ideas so I put the "Locked HD" back in, Battery back in & Modular CD back in. THen I shorted 4/6 & got the MM Screen, which incidentally, had "Manufacturing Mode Level 1" for the first time. Previously I had only got "Level (FF)". Then I was able to access the Bios & change settings ETC: but encountered the same problems you have described in the last post. I Guess now I can just hope that I can get the password to unlock the HD so I can see if it boots, or at least, get my son's school work off it.
Many thanks again for your kind help.

got the laptop to work. I changed the cmos battery and no more HDD lock.

yea it me again bt ive got a dell400 laptop that i bought second hand and it ask for a administrator password do u no the master password for it please

Thanks Rustram, I really appreciate your help. All working fine now, thanks to you.

Paragon33, thanks again to you too & just for your info, once the hd was unlocked, everything went back to normal & it boots from either cdrom now.

Thanks Heaps

Hey Rustam,

I have a Dell D610 with a Bios password (Got it off someone who owed me money for the last 2 years ) and now he won't take it back or give me any money...

The Service Tag is 1J**S4G1S (take out "*", also on the screen after service tag is 595B).

Are you able to help? Thanks.

Regards,

Moe

IDidmyC600 and Paragon33:

I want to thank both of you for your tools and advice you've posted in correcting password problems in the bios. I recently purchased a C610 and removal of the admn password was quick and painless.

Thanks

Hi Rustam and other friends,

I have a Latitude D810, I have purchased it from a seller at ebay. Then It came out as the laptop needs administrator password to make changes in the BIOS, like boot order and configuration kind of changes.

I have tried to figure out how to solve this problem. Laptop is working fine, in case of new installation I need to change the boot order. On internet some of the guys are selling chip. I wonder that if it is possible to figure a general admin key for the laptop to reset it?

What do you recommend me to do in tis issue? I have downloaded masterpw.exe file, when I give my service tag number, it says invalid input. Can anyone try to run any program which may generate the admin password?

Service tag # : 65RJN81-595B (ALSO CALLED AS SYSTEM NUMBER IN BIOS)

Express service Code : 13409291089


The BIOS version is A04, do you know what happens if I try to upgrade bios with flash bios?


The hard disk doesn't have protection, all I need is the admin password. (security password, Bios can be searchable and laptop is running fine but no chages is allowed in the BIOS, there is a lock icon at the top corner ).

I appriciate your helps and any suggestion on this issue.

Good luck

Do not flash the BIOS, as it will not help with that problem and you may have a problem doing that with the Boot Order locked. If you will go to this website and download one of the three methods of running the DST software in DOS depending on your periphealdrives and boot order status, you use it to Change/Delete your Service Tag and then reset it using the same software. During that procedure, the EEProm Chip is erased and the ADMIN/Configure Setup Password goes away.

Hello,
have inspiron 9200 with bios password.
i found cmos chip on bottom of the mobo , just on side of ram slots.
i try to jump chip but nothing happend .
when jumped and i turned on pc scree was black.
after remowing jumper laptop starts to bios and keep asking for password.
is it something more on 9200, or im doing something wrong ?
please help

Most of the late model boards have TWO EEProm chips and the second is for the LAN chipset. What is the type number etched into the top surface of the one you have been shorting? I do not have a picture of the I9200, but the I9100 is definitely that way and so is the D800, I8500 and I8600. The latter 3 have it hidden under the harddrive chute. The chip used for the LAN is generally a 24C256 or a 93C46.

it is ATMEL 436 24C04N S127

it is ATMEL 436 24C04N S127
Okay, that is the right chip. Try the after Power On shorting. Read this standard blurb of mine
The following comments are updates to the procedures contained in the .pdf file and Additions from this linked website.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/judslat/paragon/
The rest of what you will need is being hosted by this same linked site for download.
The chip on this board requires shorting/grounding of pin 5 or 6 after Power On with a delay time of from 1-6 seconds. Pin 4 on the Chip is the ground for the paper clip method, but the mod.shorter in the picture is easier to control and use for the after Power On shorting or grounding. The clip is fastened to any grounded screw or screw hole in the board and the straight pin point touched to pin 5 or 6 at the proper time. I no longer use the paper clip, but use this mod. shorter exclusively.
If you short/ground and the laptop shuts down, you were early, if it continues to boot, hold the short and see what results. If the grey password screen comes up again, you were late with the short, so start again. If you get the Manufacturing Mode screen, continue holding the short in place for another minute to completely drain the EEProm Chip of its Service Tag and passwords. This latter result I call the "Sweet Spot". The EEProm chip loads the Service Tag and Passwords into the BIOS chip on each boot and you are trying to run them into ground instead. You are trying to short/ground after the boot is committed, but before the Bios Chip Loading has started(a very brief period) and then hold the short until the chip is cleared completely.



I hope this helps you

WOW , im going to try right now

ok,
this is wat happend
i try both pins 5 and 6, effect is the same
after power up laptop i pined 5 to metal shell.
bios was loading , fun started to run, after few seconds got message about configuration and comp ask to enter setup , just after this comp turns off.
after restart still loads to bios password

ok,
now new problem , hd password
any ideas ?

What Type/Serial number and Brand is the drive? You can always replace the drive if it can not be cracked. Rustam can help if he will with his -595B Password Generator; look for his profile page and private mesaage him.There is a pro site who charges only a nominal fee, but their method does not work with all drives. I have a 20gb IBM that they couldn't crack.

This link is to the pro site I mentioned. I believe they get about $16 for unlocking a drive larger than 20gb. The Toshibas are compatible

Hey guys, this program works smoothly on latitude d810. I reset the service tag number and it removed the admin password. Then I reset the service tag number to original one. Now, I can set everything on BIOS.

Thank you very much Paragon33.

Have a great day

Can anyone tell me where the eeprom for a Dell D610 is? I've torn the thing apart and can't see it..

thanks,

Moe

there a file in parogon33 site that has the location of the chip in different model it a pdf file

Like many other people who've posted here, my Dell D510 laptop requires a BIOS password that I do not know. I was given the laptop from work who have 20 laptops that are now paperweights due a disgruntled ex-employee, who having been fired and immediately locked out of the network, decided to cause as much havoc as possible by changing all the passwords of the laptops in storage.
Under the support contract, they have to send the laptops back to have Dell unlock them. As they have sensitive company info on the hard drives my company don't want them to be sent with the hard drives still in them and taking the hard drive out invalidates the support warranty.

The tag is #2HD3V1J-595B if anyone can help me out with a password that would be excelleny, but if not I'll try the paperclip method....

I've managed to short the chip on the 510 (located underneath the PCMCIA chassis, pins 3&6 ) and remove the BIOS password.

However, there's also a hard drive password. Any ideas?

Paragon posted a program for that I believe.

My hard drive ends in 535d, so the program doesn't work.

Rustum_ can you still do master passwords for Dells? I have an inspirion D610 , the service number on the grey screen is 8RF58B1-595B I got it instead of the money a friend owed me, but he doesnt have the password ( I didnt really ask for specifics as to why he didnt know it) and Dell wont help me at all. He still owes me money, even with giving me this doorstop, but my anger over this will be eased if you can let me feel less cheated out of my hard earned money

any help is appriciated!

Hi Rustram or Anyone,

I have a Dell 600 Latitude laptop which I bought at my local salvage store here in Alberta. I've tried just about all programs on the net to unlock the hard drive that came with the unit. I've phoned dell but they just don't want to help. I have phoned other companies and they say it is going to cost $85 - $150 to unlock the drive but as you know it is not worth it..

The error code I get when I boot the drive is :

#122L1GL7PAB-595B

It just seems a waste to junk the drive since I rescued it from the waste pile once allready

Thanks

Threads merged.

hello,

Hey rustam_, did you miss my post? Im in the same boat, I posted my story on the previous page, even the number #8RF58B1-595B . Any help is greatly appriciated

Hello Rustam,

This is a request coming via the techspot forums for a problem we have encountered on a users D600. The D600 in question was issued to one of our remote users, whom yesterday we were made aware has somehow (god only knows) managed to lock the system.

On turning on the machine i get:

"Hard-disk #***********-595B, the system Primary HDD, is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access data on this hard drive without the correct password."

Goes without saying that the numpty user cannot remember what they somehow typed to lock the HD (I see no reason they would even try this, but they plead ignorance). Anyway I have phone Dell who apparently cannot help (despite us being the owners, leased equipment) because the details are not carried in their system - odd. Hitachi were also of no aid, stating the best we could hope for was a format, if were lucky. The data on the drive if possible needs to remain in tact which is why I don't want to format the drive in any sense, but basically i'm down to you as my last straw.

System details:

Dell D600
Service Tag: JX5NJ1J
Express Service Code: 433-637-440-39
BIOS: A14
Message: #***********-595B (no digits shown bar -595b)

Hard Drive Info:
Hitachi Travelstar 30gb
HDD S/N: MPAA22QBH1060B
Built: Dec 04

I would be extremely pleased if you could perhaps let me know if you're able to help me, my intentions are extremely genuine. Otherwise i guess i'll be stamping on the HD as i've already pulled my hair out.

Regards, James / IT Support Analyst

Email - josborne]at[scholastic[dot]co[dot]uk

P.S A quick response one way or another would be superb, otherwise the user gets a new HD but loses a lot of data (we even got the idiot a 2gb pen drive for back-up purposes, but guess what....he forgot to use it).

You cant demand me to help. For some reasons I decide to skip your message. But you always can use method from IdidmyC600 and Paragon33, it really work. No offence.
