Dell BIOS Password Removal

Threads merged at post #248

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.

rustam please help me if you can i have Dell Latitude D610
#3WDV42J-595B; Express Service Code: 84-885-512-59. Please if you can generate password for me please i really need this. i read all forum but i dont understand how i can generate myself and please help me.

P.S. sorr for bad english i hope you understand what i nedd.
Thanks.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

yeah rustam_ ..., you're ma last hope really .

okay so i took it apart, got kind of brave.. I dont see the eprom chip tho, and the motherboard is incased in some sort of aluminum junk. god its very frustrating.. i have no idea where its at.. anyone thats fixed a c510/c610 (is it the same? i dont know thats what it says on the bottom of the case.. ) i would really appreciate the location of the chip.. it says under the pcmcia slots but like i said i cant not take this incasing off whatsoever.. i can only try n pry it off.. any ideas?

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).

thanks for paragon33... my d610 is work now!!! thanks!!!

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...

THanks for any help!

bgbop15, the page you want is here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/judslat/paragon/greyscreen.html

There's a link to a fairly informative PDF file there as well as some general instructions on the page itself.

Once you figure out exactly where the little 8-pin chip is located on a particular model, you could just drill holes in the bottom of the laptops and not even bother with taking them apart to get to the right pins.

Hi! My name is Lukasz Hanik and I'm from Poland. Recently I've got notebook (Dell Latitude D610) from my company to work at home. I've a wifi network with neighbours and I'd like to connect this machine to network via 802.11g. But there is disabled wirelless card in the BIOS and there is also password preventing changes in BIOS. I called Dell Poland today but the want 35$ for unlock access to BIOS. I've tried to use Paragon33's method but have no access to other boot device except HDD. And I can't make HDD bootable cause there are applications and data from my company which I can't just erase by formatting drive. So could You help me with this problem? I would be grateful...

Fn+F2 doesn't enable wireless?

If you have a spare 2.5" HDD, you can swap that in and boot off of it instead...

You sure you have no ability to create a bootable floppy, CDROM, or USB storage device?

Fn+F2 normally enable wireless but only if it's allowed in the last group of options in BIOS - 'Wirelless'. Unfortunately my setting there is 'Off' and I can't change it because of lock.

This is laptop from company - I haven't got spare 2.5" HDD cause I have never need it.

I can create bootable floppy, CD or USB - but I can't boot from it. Everything except HDD is blocked in BIOS and using Boot Menu (F12 during start) there is also no other choice except hard disk.

I really tried to do this without interrupt You but I can't. That is why I'm asking for help with BIOS password..

This only works as long as the main admin password is not set, just the config passwords.


Is the main admin password set, if not set it, power off and turn it on and when you get the grey screen enter the password you set, then hold down CTRL and press enter 3 times, this will then boot the laptop up and will remove the passwords on the BIOS.

And it doesn't work on all BIOS's

Thanks for reply. I've just tried to do this, but it's impossible cause after hold down CTRL and pressing enter ONCE, grey screen disappears and operating system is being load. So unfortunately it doesn't work on my BIOS :(

I get bjamy7am entering BYUSU**-D35B, which should be correct. Type bjamy7am in exactly, hold down the Ctrl key, and press enter 3 times.

I have just recently come across a Dell latitude cpx. I am trying to go in and see what it has on it, but as soon as it comes up, it is asking for a password. I have tried plugging ini an external floppy to boot from a dos disk, but it is not allowing me to go past the screen that pops up. It says from the dell screen to press f2 to enter setup, but when i do that, it gives me the same screen. PLEASE someone help!!!!!!!!!

What does that screen say about the Laptop exactly (This Computer System ???????-???? is protected by etc. etc.) If you have a Digital Camera, send a pic to email removed Otherwise, send exactly what is represented by the question marks to me, and these are case sensitive.

Are you sure about that serial for tom Paragon33? Whan I run the generator I get 46calgbb. Maybe I'm doing it wrong as well.

I entered BYUSU**-D35B I have a Latitude CS and an Inspiron 3700 that both still had the -D35B Service Tag and Password, and that I cracked with this generator using these techniques. This is using version 2.20 of the password generator.

Ok... I must have input it incorrectly :)

Yes I tried it but I kept getting the message invalid input or something along that line.

it's cool... i took it back to where I bought it from and got my money back... it was giving me a headache.

i need password :'(

Well, I know this is the one millioneth person to ask help on resetting a dell bios password. My son gave me this Latitude CPI that his high school friend traded him with and I think he got the raw end.
Anyway, yes it won't boot up with out a admin password. I tried the programs out there Latutide.exe, it gave me a password but it did not work no matter what configuration I tried it in.
If there is a genius that can help I would be appreciative. It is in good condition and I hate to have to tear it apart to do that thing with shorting out the chip.
My service tag #53938
I was given a password of AO9Amm69 by the latitude.exe program.
Thanks if you can be of assistance.
