Hi Rustam

I noticed your giving out master passwords for hard drives or Bios on Dell's for stories.
I just fixed a friends Inspiron 1100 as she had broken the power socket on the motherboard. I replaced the motherboard but when I started the machine for the first time it showed the white screen for bios password which I bypassed but then it showed the hard drive protection screen. Can you help me as I can't use the old motherboard to unlock the drive as it dosn't work I have tried it in a Latitude C600 which gives the same hard drive protection screen. The service tag is on the Latitude C600 is CVCHN01 and the express service code 138-745-638-91. The old board in the Inspiron 1100 was J3WSX0J express service code was 415-953-597-79 and the new board has no service tag as I erased it when I bypassed it and asset.com will not let me put it back? so can you generate one based on the CVCHN01 tag from the c600.
The hard drive protection screen shows #N4TT3B13SAK-595B, I hope you can help as the only alternative for her is to buy another hard drive.

Regards
Rich

Ps I know it sounds a bit lame that she dosn't know the password but truth be known it was actually her x boyfriends. She kept it when they split as he had borrowed money from her but obviously didn't want to pay it back, alas he failed to give her the password or inform her that it had a broken power connector.

I have an Inspiron 2200:
On power up I get a grey screen Stating "This system #6937H71-595B is protected by a password protection system...."

I tried contacting DELL but they were no help.

I also tried to remove the CMOS battery but also no good. Can anyone get me a password for my system. I have looked throught the threads and have heard both yes and no for my service Tag. I tried downloading "Lattitude.exe", but my antivirus software claimes it is infected.

Service Tag: 6937H71-595B

Help Please!!!!

My name is Terry and live in South africa.
The point to writting to you is that I have recently bought a dell latitude D610 laptop on ebay from a seller in scotland, unfortunately when i received it has some kind of a system lock which says the following behind a white screen;
"This computer system, #5BG532J-595B, is protected by a password authentication system"
Unfortunately I didnt get this password from the seller and had no luck in getting any sort of a reply from the seller after a numerous emails to him.
I have seen some of your postings of help to other users and I am too hoping that you will help me too. IT in south africa is very limited.
I noticed that you asked for the service numbers so here is mine; 5BG532J.
There is also 115-761-507-31 i dont know what its for but I hope you will please help me.
If you can not help me on this ocasion, I would very much appreciate if you can guide me to where I might find this help.
Once again Thank you very much and hope your supporting country to do well in the world cup.
Chears.
Terry.

Hi Rustam, hoping you can help me as well. The company I work for in South AFrica has retrenched a lot of staff and when my laptop was giving me problems I was sent a laptop that belonged to a colleague that has left. I can't get hold of him and the Laptop has a power on password which no one knows. The service tag is #3NTVR0J-595B . I tried the latitude.exe program but the master password does not work. Is this case sensitive?

rustam I'm in need of your magic...

I bought a used DELL Latitude D610 from the My Shopper. It works fine but the Bios setup is password protected and the kid I bought it from didn't even know what the bios setup was let alone the password. The service tag # is:37WXP71 and the express sevice code is 7009023565. Your help would be appreciated. If you can't figure out the password could you tell me where the eeprom is that has to be erased and how to do it. I read a million posts and sites and they all say something different. I don't feel good about blindly shorting out chips unless the info is comming from a COMPUTER GURU Like yourself.I don't want to watch my motherboard fry!!!

Thank you for your time, and possibly your help,
George

I recently aquired a laptop that was givin to an employee at current employer.

This employee was terminated in the last week, and when leaving, they changed, removed, and made everything as hard as possible to get back.

Since then, the laptop that is now mine (the Corp. wrote it up as a loss, and threw it away) and I have no way of getting into it.

Latitude D600:
#6XNJ241-595B

I have dell latitude 110L with locked bios.

Plese help !!

Try this program to reset ur BIOS password.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Securit.../CmosPwd.shtml
The page has instructions. Follow them explicitly and make sure to read the line that says U CANNOT REMOVE THE BIOS PASSWORD FROM A LAPTOP COMPUTER!!! The password for a laptop BIOS is stored on an EEPROM chip which needs to be erased using UV and rewritten by a programmer. An EEPROM programming program can also be used but other guys might know about these.

I have a dell inspiron 2200 and it says " Hard disk #1*1*1*1*1*1-595b, the system modular bay HDD, is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access data on this hard drive without the correct password. What am i to do. i need help please

rustam_,

I Just purchased a Dell C540 from a friend of mine and I can't do anything because of a white screen that says #BBFK331-595B is protected by a password authentication system or something like that... can you help? also my express service code is 24635864989..

try typing the 595B for the password, it works for me

Hi all

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

has all the answers you need to this thread.

Rustam only comes on occasionally, if your lucky enough to get him.

No other software mentioned in this thread will remove a service tag password on a dell machine, trust me I am an expert in this field having been dealing with this for about 6 months now..

Any questions you have PM me , I read them daily...


As for this
"The password for a laptop BIOS is stored on an EEPROM chip which needs to be erased using UV and rewritten by a programmer. An EEPROM programming program can also be used but other guys might know about these"

Nope not true, they are stored on a prom chip and cant be erased only reset using the shorting method.

I know I sound big headed but so what, I am what I am

Rustam_,

I know you've heard this a thousand times before, but... I now have a Dell Inspiron 8500 that I bought on ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 ) and after spending weeks soldering in a new backlight, found that it is password protected. I cannot get passed the BIOS screen. I have to get this thing up and going for school. My programming class is nearly impossible to pass without one. I already sold my old laptop before this one came, so right now I'm S-O-L. Please, if you can help me, that would be awesome.

My Service tag is DKS6X21
Express service tag: 29554845913

Thanks so much,

it is really eeprom chip and it can be reprogrammed onboard, but it need additional hardware and software, which is too complicated for most users.

Hi Rustam_, I work at a computer repair shop and recently had a customer bring in a laptop he had bought off ebay. He does not know the password to access it. We quoted him for a motherboard and hard drive replacement to fix the problem. Service tag#: 9YPSB91-595B and express service code#: 21690202357. I have used the latitude.exe program and have had no luck with the number it generated for me. If you could help with the password that would be greatly appeciated! Thanks

I am a Fire Chief for a local volunteer fire department, I have a friend that owns a couple of resale shops and has given me Dell Inspiron 2200, Service Tag #6Y0NZ71-595B that he aquired from some bulk purchases. Unfortunatly it has the horid gray screen!! He has indicated that the VFD can have the laptop provided we can get past the password problem. He is tired of going round and round with Dell. I too tried to do the reregistering thing only to spend an hour being passed around a system that finally says .....forget it you are screwed!!!!! Please help us........

If you could help me out I would be infinatly greatful.
