yeah if you want to pay

But most come here to get it for FREE (especially the advice)

Here's the best advice (I've repeated over and over)

Paying a private person is the absolute last option !

c0deage were you offered to pay someone?

Good idea (other than Dell of course )

Asking for payment, can be an instant ban on here.
But we don't know if this does not happen on the forum (unless others let us know)

Frocher's comment should be taken as the worst idea, obviously

Dell Latitude D420 Please Help

Hi everyone

I am new to the forum and in desperate need of some help, I am a student and several months ago bought the Dell Latitude D420 from a carboot sale to help with my studies. The laptop was wroking fine and I saved alot of work on it, when I tried to put my own password on it it locked me out. There is no way of me getting hold of the guy who sold it to me so now I am unable to access my work. There must be some way around this but I am no computer whizz, I do not even know where to start!

If anyone can help me sort this out I will be sooo grateful,

Thanks

king

wich is very slow and much boring :s
And cheaper and takes 1 day only

Although some members have commented on 3rd party external (expensive) methods. Dell does this for approx $36 only. Or do it yourself for free with the paperclip method.

i think some people here r 3rd party product supporter..only they can help to send you to money hungry sharks
service!! wich is very expensive and much stupid :s


But I'll let the real members (who actually are wanting help) decide what's best

System or Administrator Password

Okay i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but i'm going to try. I bought a Dell Inspiron 1521 from a pawnshop. It didnt have a powercord with it so I figured it would be easy to get one off the internet. I got the powercord and booted it up and there is this white screen smiling at me saying i need to type in the system or administrator password.. Well I read about the paperclip thing with the eeprom thing. I dont trust myself shorting anything out. I was wondering if i bought a new motherboard for it if that would work or would I have to short the eeprom?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
I feel I screwed myself over

Just wanted to let everyone know I successfully removed BIOS passwords from my Dell Inspiron B120 with service tag ending with 595B

I used the DST CD from http://www.download.centre4service.com/software1.html

Just burned it, booted from it and voila... very simple.

Thanks to all of you I learned something new.

No (wish it were though)

I've just got all these links and txt files and copies of pages and pics everywhere; in a big folder.

Hey, didn't know about this one though:
