Hello all, please i have dell inspiron 1521 with password. when power-on the message i got is this computer system, #68ZFRG1-595B, is protected by a password system. Please i need help to resolve it. All the thread i have seen are for those with service tag -D35B. please help me out

I received a Dell Lattitude D630 which surprisingly has an Administrator password and need for it to be removed. I tried method posted here and abroad but info was rather old and closed threads. I understand there is a MasterPasswordRemover and only found software that doesn't work for the D630 595b service tag. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction i am not afraid to explode the laptop to acces any chips. Thank you. I will post the service tag number sortly as I am away from home right now.

A continuation of my last post, my service tag #1955DG1-595B.

Did you forget the password?

I had recently bought a Dell E1705 Inspiron with a BIOS password. I called Dell and they asked if the laptop registration was every changed over to you and I said that I purchased this through my local craigslist and have tried numerous times to get a hold of this person with no luck. Dell told me that they are sorry and that there is nothing that can be done to fix this. I really need help because this was a fairly expensive purchase and I have NO WAY to use this until I can get a master password or to clear the password. I have taken the laptop apart and I was going to go through the route of shorting/grounding out the eeprom chip but I cannot figure out which chip is the right one I have about 20 pics of the board if someone needs them) there are about 8 chips that resemble what the eeprom chip looks like from the pics that I have found on Google.

Any suggestions?

Please help! I really need this to work.

yes, a friend who was just been trained as a technician play with the system and passworded it. now cant remember what the password was... your help will be appreciative

Dell can't help you?

@ Tedster please inform Admin here, if you believe this thread is against TechSpot
@ Tmagic650 yes obviously, or they just don't know. That's the point of the thread strangely Your post just causes others to reply with "Yes". and bumps the thread too.

If either of you can help please do, otherwise don't create anymore unneeded posts to this long thread

For all other "authentic" posts wanting free help, please read this thread (even the older ones) in full. If I had this issue I would read the whole thread.

thank you all. Tmagic650 and Kimsland, i have read the thread and saw most that was resolved, but i have not got mine resolved and i think with help of others in TS forum this can be solved, for those of others were solved. so please anyone who want to render help let them do. My service tag is #68ZFRG1-595B

I'm all for anyone freely helping
Reading the thread you will see this many times.

I hope if someone has the means to just freely provide the password to you, or anyone previously, or no doubt the many more from today onwards.

It would be nice if the "someone" (who can freely help) just gets into the xmas spirit and provide passwords to all these desperate members (I say desperate only due to continually cleaning up this thread (and elsewhere, only to do with this issue)

This thread, has caused more issues than any other part to TS, and continues to do so. I have never been able to distinguish the authentic posts (not saying that you or or specifically any others are not authentic) from the bad member's posts (even being first timers, or members here for years!) If all these "bad" members were allowed to be banned by me (most are known) I would do it on the spot. And then at last help others freely.

I don't believe this thread has any chance of that happening though, and therefore there's not much use, except to repeat the past posts, and continually tidy the thread up.

I wish everyone, best of hope in recovering their password of their personally owned laptops. How annoying it would be to be in this position. Please try all methods discussed in this thread. And note Dell has helped others, when they have initially said no. Usually by lots of pestering. Actually please refer them to this thread. I have.

Thanks Kimsland for your response. i will do much so.

But i will still appreciate any other help

Yes, please help a fellow member. I need my Dell Latitude D610 otherwise it becomes a very expensive dinner tray.

Original post is H - E - R - E...

chinnoNYC, locate the eeprom of your d610 and short it. you can locate it under black "plastic" sticker from PCMCIA. in my d610 eeprom starting with 24c is there.

600 and 610 pic,

It's my HDD that's locked, not the BIOS. I got past the BIOS already.

If you do not receive any help
Replace the Harddrive

That's what I'm afraid of, blowing $100+ on a new HDD. It sucks but I may have no other choice.

a hdd for your old Latitude is more cheeper.
Just take a look at ebay

Can anyone help reset the bios password on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Service Tag#2GDRCG1, or tell me where on the motherboard is the bios chip so i can reset it by hand.


Thanks

the Inspiron 1525 password can not be cleared by shorting a chip
