I am working on a co-worker's D600 that has a boot password on it as well. I cannot believe that there are so many people on this thread that have the same problem. The DOS password utilities don't seem to generate the correct master password for getting past the bios password and I am a bit hesitant to disassemble my co-worker's laptop to jumper the eeprom. Has anyone had any success with the other solutions?

I have an inspiron 2650, service tag FDC0M11 (that's a zero not the letter O), can anybody help me? It has a setup password. I've seen many replies but none in regards to this model.

thanks

Are you saying that you can enter BIOS but can not change any settings? I believe I have something that will help if you will contact me at that email

all your`s problems are stored in a eeprom24cXX (02,04....) atmel chip
read a chip with some eeprom reader and send me on email and i read your password for you
in eeprom are stored user pass master pass hdd pass (only if a hdd is lock in the same laptop) serial number and tag So you can change all this if you want DO NOT ERASE FILES IN THE EEPROM IF HDD IS A LOCK ON THE SAME LAPTOP
DO NOT CONNECT SOME PINS ON THE EEPROM ( I READ SOME SOLUTIONS FOM THIS FORUM) IF YOU ARE NOT SKILED (SOME SMART GUY BURN A VGA ON THE MOTHERBOARD (DELL D600) 2 DAY`S AGO) SO....

an this is a only good solution (solder and desolder a chip from motherboard)

for now for all dell notebook`s

this is it for now
sorry for my bad english

You are welcome to your opinion since this is an open forum, but if you remove the harddrive before starting the shorting technique, it works fine. The hardddrive is a lost cause of course, but you will have a laptop which will function normally with a new harddrive after using the software I use to reset the Service TAG. Far more motherboards are ruined by an amateur soldering on a new EEProm chip than with the shorting method. I have done a bit of soldering on double-sided boards, but that chip is one I will not try to replace.
I have lost count of the people who have contacted me on my Email for the files and then recontacted me later to report success.

I was successful in shorting the EEPROM and reseting the service tag. I can now enter BIOS and boot of the CD-ROM, however the system also has a hard disk password. I removed the hard drive when I was shorting the EEPROM. I take it from the above exchange the hard disk is a hopeless cause and a new one will have to be purchased. Is it possible to take out the hard disk and format it? I have a laptop to IDE and laptop to usb hard disk adapter, so I was wondering if I could clear the HD with this?

I do not know of any way to remove a Harddrive Password. I have an older drive here which I purposely set one on and tried many ways to clear without success, including the "debug" method espoused by one poster earlier in this thread. There are professionals who can do it, but the cost is prohibitive unless it is to recover needed files. Reformatting will not remove the Password and you will not be able to get the drive recognized as present in an external drive case.

Ok this solution is ok when your hdd is not locked but if hdd is lock on your dell and u do this kind of solution you will delete a same information about your pass for hdd because in atmel 24cxx are stored a information about master, user, hdd password, tag ....
but when u desolder eeprom an read his contents u will able to see a passwords but this contents are cripted and i cen read it for u want and tell u what kind password u hawe on your dell, this solution works only if your hdd is lock on the same computer (dell xxxx) but if you hdd is locked on a another laptop and put in the dell u cant do nothing about hdd pass
soldering a atmel 24cxxx it works on a dell hp compaq asus ibm(24RF08) siemens fujitsu acer in the toshiba older model u can use a dongle if u have a lpt port on the same computer or u can a use usb dongle for some toshiba models wihout lpt port but a new toshiba is a PROBLEM for now because password is stored on proccesor onboard (not CPU) or some kind a controler
this it

Sorry i forgot to tell hdd password can be removed only for dell, ibm and sony for now, reading and erasing some content from eeprom on the other brands u can only unlock a notebook because all contents are cripted

Could you send me a copy of your software for Dell Laptops.

Does anyone know how to convert a Dell Tag number to an Express Service Code number. I have been informed that it is some kind of mathmatical conversion. I have Tag but not Express Service Code. I purchased Laptop at auction and need Express Service Code along with Tag to register change in ownership with Dell.

D600 is now unlocked, but unfortunately Hard drive isn't. Looks like I'll be buying another H/drive. Thanks for the files. Also note for drtoney send me your email address and I'll pass on files I have.

Hi Paragon33, just sent you an email, could you please be so kind to help me out with my Dell Latitude C840?

Thanx in advance!!

Thanx David for the email! :giddy:

Hi all! I´ve just bought a Dell Latitude D610 in Germany in a low price ... It has a locked bios setup. I can use the computer, but I am not able to make any changes (for example switch on wireless...)
From where can I get a factory admin password? Or can you help me in it?
System number is the following: 7Q47S1J-595B

Anyway: Where can I check the history of this machine?
I tried this latitude.exe, but I became an invalid password. Are there any other solution? Please if you have, send me in E-mail (with a short instruction) ([COLOR="Red"]email removed[/COLOR])
THX!

I have sent you the files I used to UNLOCK my D600.
