Noob question, did I misunderstand the purpose of the thread? I ask because it seems as though some people are saying that we should pay the manufacturer or find a paid 3rd party for unlocks, and some are saying that people here (like hpgl) will help us with unlocks so we don't have to pay for a service that should be free.

i got a dell inspiron b130 on ebay and wont let me do nothing with out the administrator pass word #6KM8NB1-595B SERVICE CODE 14307372541 so should i thro it in the trash r wat dont no much about them so any help would be great THx for the help jamie

I'm guessing there's no luck with this?

I think the amount of luck is irrelevant, It seems that you'll get a response ramdomly.

I have a problem paying outrageous amounts of money for something that takes a couple minutes at most. The 3rd party people want $60US or more, for what? typing a string of numbers into a code generator program and then typing the result in an email to you. Let's see.. minimum wage in the US is $6.55/hour. so if it takes someone even 10 minutes to do this, it's worth less than a dollar. Just because it's your only resource to solve the problem doesn't give them the right to charge out the nose. Dell is almost as bad. mine is out of warranty and they won't even let me speak to tech support without paying.

I'm relatively patient enough to hope hpgl takes pity on me and sends me a code.

well, if you have a unique product economy calls this value pricing or do you think a ferrari is made of gold? people are free to charge whatever they want and believe me its not just typing in a number. it takes hours, days maybe weeks or months to build such a keygen on that basis. so your maths isn't really correct. however, it is your choice whether to use it or not. people who charge money for this service are not welcome in this forums since this is made as a place where people help eachother for free.

not sure if this applies in your country but I got alot of dell laptops for which I called dell to extend the warranty. this was around 50 euros and I could ask them for passwords all day after that. so, I don't see the problem here...
all you need to do is claim the ownership if you are not already the legal owner and extend the warranty for 1 year.
and for those who say they don't want to give them personal data: this sounds not much legal to me :-)

good luck! be asured I would help you with the passwords if I only had a keygen....

I am having issues with a bios password that is of the -595B variety.

35VGLC1-595B

If anyone can help with this I'd truly appreciate it as I could actually use this machine instead of parting it out like I had thought.

I have been through most of the usual or mentioned steps with this model and ultimately it sounds like I may need to pin jump the PROM, which I am comfortable doing however, I have not had much luck yet in locating it and positively identifying it.

If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated.

my laptop is made in 2004 its a latitude c640 the only chip close is a 24lco4 is this it? tried jumpin still no results

the guide says the chip is left to dimm1 slot. shorting method works fine with c640. even I was able to do it :-)
