Dell BIOS Password Removal

Hello Everyone. Just like to try and get some help 2. Paragon excellent write up man. Im scared to open the laptop up, never have :|. So help I shall seek

RUSTAM!,

I just got this dell lappy kind of old, bought it at an ASU surplus store for real cheap, they told me it was donated, and it had the password issue and you had to take it to a Dell service center. I said PFT! i'll do it, do a quick google search and handle the problem. HA! Sure didn't turn out that way, anyway I just bought the laptop to be mobile at school, hate running down stairs for a bite to eat then running back up to finish typing up papers and what not. Being inside is lame 2 so I got it, now it doesn't work and hopefully you can help!. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Service Tag is : #7J4RJ11-595B

Rustam_ are you still trading stories for masterpasswords? tried to send you a pm, but your box is full.

Hi Rustam,

I am new to this thread and not so very familiar with pc stuff. Some times ago I bought a laptop Dell Latitude D610 from a flea market sale. I started the notebook and when I wanted to change the settings (activate wireless LAN) I was asked for an "Administrator password". When I asked the owner of the laptop for the master password she told me that she doesn't know because the machine belonged to her son who died in an accident. Then I didn't care because I thought I could ask DELL for it to get it unlocked. But Dell didn't want to help me because they ask for some informations I don't have and I didn't get from the woman who sold the laptop to me. I tried to get some informations from the internet and after some days I found this threat. Migthy Rustam would you be able to help me as you have helped many others I saw? If anyone can help me it would be you I found out.
The number which showns on the screen is #**36AK7755T-595B and on the backside the service tag is G9DM72J. The express service tag is 353-955-835-63. I read about the paper clip way but I'm afraid of it because I don't know much about hardware and I'm not very adroit. Please help me to become a lucky loser. Thank you in advance very much.

Thanks a million,
Beat

Someone can help me with my Dell Latitude D600... My Service tag is 1HPH11J
Thnx

Hi all,:wave: sorry that I havent been in for a while but I have been devoting my time to dealing with wider issues, once again it seems that this thread is filling up with people who hope beyond hope that Rustam will answer their plea and supply a password, he may he may not, but in the meantime if your up to it follow the link in my tag

There are 2 occasions where a password is wanted by a user,

1)you buy the laptop and when you power it on you get a grey screen
2)you power on the laptop and all is fine until you want to change the boot order and find the BIOS has been locked.

The 2nd is the easiest and can be done with the software on my site.

The first is a bit trickier and involves shorting a SMALL chip on the motherboard.

Either method clears the Service Tag and thus the passwords on the laptop.

The software will instantly restore the service tag but leave the passwords blanked.

Any one with a bit of sense about PC's can strip a laptop down and Dell have the manuals on line, there is a link on my site to show you where to get yours.

Once done you can hold your head high and say Ididmylaptop.

Regards all

You seem to have the answers to the question. Why is that you have the answer? Can I be saved, or will my frustration throw this laptop into the pool. All I was trying to do was increase memory from 256MB to 512MB. And now for my story of failure.

Okay here goes. I recently purchased new memory for my Dell Latitude laptop model CPx. after installation nothing happened. Got a hold of seller from ebay, told me to try them one at a time to confirm both were operational.

The computer booted up for two seconds and read as follows. "The amount of system memory has changed.

Well the next thing you know I'm staring at this screen asking my to enter the HDD password for authentication. That is truly something new for me.

I have a service tag # on the bottom but it is to short to fill in the blanks for the password.
It has "Hard-disk #*********-595B" on the screen. I saw some other questions about this earlier. I'm no genius, but i don't carry a book on cracking security codes on laptops. Any help out there for this Dell user wishing he never bought more memory...................

Any help out there for this Dell user wishing he never bought more memory...................


I can't say that I have ever had an issue upgrading memory, not to the point of it setting a password on the HD,

Alas there are 2 options.

1) Hope rustam will supply you with a password, it is i am sorry to say not something I can do as Rustam keeps the code generator close to his chest.

2)Use the software and links on my site and pay for the remote unlock procedure, it is quite cheap if the data is really important.

RUSTAM,

I also need a bios master pw. Please advise me of the info u need. Is the service number the one that appears on the grey screen? Is this what u need?

Dear all,

Who can help me to reset my admin Bios password of my Dell Latitude C640.

Regards Stef

Rustam,

I bought a Dell C610 from a company moving several machines. As soon I give it power it comes to this bios "GREY" screen, asking for a password. I believe that it came from a corprate auction and it was never tested. I don't even know if the HD is secured.

I bought this laptop for school and now I am screwed and don't know what to do.

Hell Mr. Rustam,I wonder if yuo can help.I have a Dell Latitude D610 with a gray logon screen.It was given to me by my ex-partner to repair.He said that he had advanced some money to a client(Tax Refund) and the computer was given as a security deposit.Of course the client's tax claim was bogus and now my partner is out a couple hundred bucks.I sure hope that your magic software can generate a password for this computer.Thanx in advance

Hello Rustam,

I work for a computer firm as a support technician. We service mostly desktops laptops and printers. A customer brought a dell inspiron 5150 laptop cause he has forgoten the password. As we are a reputable firm, we first did a checkup of the person and the origin of the laptop and confirmed that he is the rightfull owner (INVOICE AND TELEPHONE CALL TO THE SHOP HE PURCHASED IT FROM). We suggested to him that he ask dell for a password. What a jackoff that was they replied to him with a Dear John letter. Next he went to a 100% pass free shop they asked for 200 Euros (230$). Holy **** Rustam are they kidding or what. He still has a locked laptop and it sits in my desk for three weeks now. Can you please help me gain access to this laptop cause i feel sorry for the guy. The service tag is as follows

Dear Mr Rustam,
I am about to go to school to be a nurse while raising my daughter who just started school while working a full time job that barely pays the bills. I found a Dell Latitude D610 at a resale shop that had a table set up at a local flea market and was able to buy it. The church based resale shop employee/volunteer assured me that the computer worked when it was donated and I trusted. After a little bit of searching I was able to find a power cord and plugged it in and turned on the power. I was so happy to see "Dell" in big letters on the screen... then my heart fell... I got the dreaded grey screen saying the computer was locked. I have tried to reset the EEPROM chip per instructions from Paragon and it did not work... maybe I did not find the correct chip. I am afraid that I may have destroyed the computer. Will you please wiggle your fingers and provide the password I need to see if I wasted the money and time, or if I have spent wisely on a piece of equipment that will help me in school so that I may help others while better providing for my daughter? If so, the Service Tag # is 4PB04B1-595B and the express service code is 10213265101. Thank you for your time and consideration.

You may not believe it, but right after I posted, I decided to give it one more try... the clock started chiming midnight here and somehow I bumped power button because the machine started up.. and went right to the manufacturing mode screen! Now though I am looking at another screen that is wanting a login and password. AUGH!!!!
Never mind Mr Rustam. Thank you for all you do though!

Rustam, please help!

Have one lonely Dell C800 with a Bios Password here at work (where I'm the support staff) and have tried the chip reset, but everytime I try to jump the chip, the machine won't start. Always with the grey screen!!! :o

If you would be so kind as to either help me or point me in the right direction with this mess I'd be very grateful. My life is in your hands!

RUSTAM_

We just had laptop donated to our school, however its hdd is locked.

Dell Latitude c600

I tried to send a private message but your box was full.
On one of the forums you claimed to have a written a little program similar to latitudepw.exe to get a master password for computer with the -595B service tag extension. You claimed it worked for hdd as well.

44K44Y85556-595B is the serial number of the hdd on the bootup screen

Can you help out
Pat

Edit: Thread merged into this one.

Hello rustam. I too am joining the long line of HD pw reset. I have a Dell C600 I'm fixing for family. It had Win98 on it but had a ton of problems so I put Ubuntu on it. I was setting up his wireless when it froze and rebooted coming up with the now famed "#***********-595B...." error. So can you work your magic one time more?

Service Tag: 1B67P01

Hope you can help,
Thank you

Need your help Rustam.... tolong ! :(

Hi Rustam, i've just bought my second-hand Dell D610 and i am going to use it as a laptop connected to my office network. Since every pc or laptop that gonna be used in the office should be formatted and re-image to the office networks. After i gave it for get configured by IT staff, they have to change some setting in the BIOS and needed the admin password to change the setting.
I really do need your favour to help me out for this problem since i really need my laptop can be used for my everyday working in the office.
If i read in the post, most of people here asks for your help and if there is one lucky they gonna get your answer for solving the problem.

I am just wondering maybe i'll be a lucky person that you could help for providing me the master password for my laptop BIOS p/w. :)

anyway my service tag is 3HW571S-595B
and my x-press service is 7612277680

before what will gonna be for the next i wanna say huge thanks for you.

Hello, this is my first post to the Techspot forums! Beseeching Rustam for his assistance and requesting the application of the expertise of the rest of the forum in solving this problem is the primary reason I signed up in the first place (although it kind of looks like a fun place).

I recently was gifted a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop by a friend after I took his desktop PC to my shop and did several hundred dollars' worth of upgrades to it for him.

He didn't have a charger for the laptop but if I remember correctly, he showed me that it booted into Windows (before it ran out of battery power finally).

So I got the laptop yesterday, bought one of those universal chargers for it (120W, $$$), and it took the charger and fired right up (in my car on the way home even!).

Unfortunately, I get a white screen with gray letters immediately after the system passes post (whether I hit F2, F12, or nothing), doesn't seem to be a HDD password. It warns me that there is a password authentication system and lets me try three times before shutting down. I fired off quite a few of the generic passwords that a user might set, and I'm not sure where to go from here (the original owner of the laptop is in Texas right now, I may be able to track him down through his brother). This I would do only in the blind hope that he remembers the password (and that there was one originally!).

The service tag is 9JWBX41 and the express service code is 20794202209. The password screen refers to the computer as 9JWBX41-A95B. The -A95B seems to be a rather rare error from the research that I have been able to do so far, could I have fried the laptop with the universal 120W power adapter? The battery seems to have charged properly and the laptop fires right up on battery power.

I am running BIOS revision A33. That's all I can readily find out about the system.

My e-mail address is my Techspot forum username address at yahoo.com.

The -A95B seems to be a rather rare error from the research that I have been able to do so far, .

HI dreddnott and welcome to the TS Forum

The A95 just refers to a later version of BIOS and is not an error, your right in your request to Rustam he is the only one with a working code gen to get past the HD lock,

However there is an online service which can unlock remotely for a small price, you have a choice of keeping the data or blanking the drive, the sites address is below.

Regards

Hello Rustam,

Here's my story. I owe my wife's employers money, so I am their tech support for free. One of their son's has a inspiron 1100 with unknown bios password. He taped a note to the top of the laptop with the following:

***Problems***

1) forgot password (don't know how to get on)
2) overheats
3) very slow

Kathy, Please have Rich take care of this

***end of note***

So, here I am.

Service tag: HMQ0W31
Express Service Tag: 38379267181

Is there any chance you can work your magic? It would be much appreciated. Thank you and have a swell day

I am making this post to take some of the pressure off rustam. I have a software only solution to both the titled problems available at email removedand so does Ididmy c600 at his website with ths link
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/judslat/paragon/

Contact rustam for HDD password help and also for Primary(grey/white screen) passwords. I also have a different method and so does the linked website for the latter type, but it is more involved than rustam's.

Hi Rustam,

I guess you are busy but here is another plea for help.

Having left my trusty Dell D600 nestling in the cupboard for the first time ever whilst I went on holiday it clearly took great offence. On returning and booting up I got the famous grey screen requesting Primary or Administrator password. Spoke to Dell who claim that leaving laptop unused for a month would not initiate the grey screen but my password would work anyways - Duh! I pointed out that having never had need to mess with the bios how would I know the password as its not written down with the paperwork! They acknowledged my point, accepted I was owner and would e-mail code. Two weeks later and still waiting despite numerous calls - jeez they need to improve their Customer Services - now I know what can happen and have read some of the tales of woe on these pages would I ever buy a Dell again.....

Tag no is CBZFT0J-595B (to confirm it's a zero not an O)

Thanks

Overvale

Hello Rustam

I hope your not too bored to give password away.

Here is my story. I bought a Latitude D600 from local PC man in the Medwest. HE IS a pc assembler whom i guess buy or trade new or used stock of computer s from compagnies, reprocess them and sell them individually locally in Missouri, st louis area, So I'm pretty sure that mine was not stolen.
As far I know, I paid for it what the seller asked for. The BIOS revision A06
This message says: Please type in the system or adminstrator password and press (enter)
I put many names including the name of the seller, did not work.

I try to reach the guy, but I remember that I purchased the lab top AS IS


the service tag is BC8V391

Thanks much for your help and for your time.

I guess next time, I will be careful

Thanks
Sammy

Hi everyone,

Any tips on getting past the p/word authentication on dell lattitude C600 please?

Thought a notebook would make life easier but hey..guessing not so far?

thanks if you can help...great site btw

Threads merged.

All right, I was feeling a little adventurous and headstrong after successfully repairing my Logitech G5 laser mouse, so I went ahead with the paperclip trick:

The Inspiron 5150 has a slightly different version of the chip than some of the other laptops mentioned in this thread, having 8x the capacity than the others for one (16kbit), so I was worried about ruining things if perhaps the pinout was different, but after a few tries I managed to properly short pins 3 & 6 on the little chip. Once in the BIOS proper, I was able to permanently disable the master and admin passwords.

What I did to make it easier was do a full disassemble of the laptop, identify the proper 8-pin chip on the motherboard, mark its position, drill a small clean hole in the bottom of the casing so I could see the chip, completely reassemble it, and use an insulated paperclip to short the pins. It was difficult to get my aim right but I was in no danger of shorting pin 8 (VCC) to anything, and it was certainly easier than attempting to power the poor thing on with the motherboard and doohickeys hanging all over the place!

Hooray!

Of course, now there's a screen saying that Hard-disk #N4TT4516SVH-A95B, the system Primary HDD, is protected etc blah blah blah.

I suppose I have to run the DST ISO thing to fix this, or could I simply replace the HDD (I have larger ones on hand at work) and be done with the old drive?

Or, failing that, is there a way to simply generate a master password for the HDD and use it without any hassle? I'd assume that is one of the services that Rustam graciously provides to the people in this thread.

Just let me know what my options are. I was planning on running Debian Linux on this system anyways, so I'm pretty flexible. If replacing the hard drive will be an immediate fix, I'd rather do that.

Wow Rustam... are you a wizard? I sometimes wish i were!!!

Stories for p/word?
The story of the laptop huh is a little long but hey...i got this one because I am a vision impaired student but my studies do not help me getting through this Del rubbish :((

acquired from a friend for who i did some bits and pieces for but where it came before that i dont know...i wish i did as it may help in getting in...

I read the above postings and tried entering what you have written but no joy:((

this lattitude C600 is probably best used to prop my study books up with now..unless wizard Rustam can help me. a very big big please from me...

#6 L Y 7 4 1 S and the usual 5 9 5 B
would love p/word and my faith in you Rustam

Hi
Congrats on a successful PC trick, unfortuntately only Rustam can supply a HD password, if your lucky and chosen then you can unlock it.

If not then yes the immediate fix is to replace the drive.
