i hope that all the things that they place here make sense

I did a transfer of ownership cause this laptop was given to me and the previous owner can't be found. the warranty is out since jan 08, dell wants to charge me over 100.00 to reset the bios password that comes up on a gray and white screen. I just need to get into it so can reinstall windows xp and i searched this whole forum and i heard that service tags ending in -595B will not work and some say it does, my service tag is G8DNBC1 and Express code is 35335169569, i read from a post by the legendary rustm_ that he can't give out a master password for that tag ending in -595B and we can't Ask him about it.... can anyone help me please!!

I got a Pm for my Hashcode 11117, but unfortunately the password "eqgd58y" does not work. I'll post it here since I can't send a reply to the PM as I don't have 10 posts yet.

is that for your dell that is the same model as mine?

Hello,
I managed to get past the service tag...thanks to all the info out there. Lots of reading but got it done. My next problem is I have the Admin & User password and cannot remember for the life of me(probably was the same for the bios).I did try the ctrl-alt-del thing but I cannot bypass them, any suggestions would be awesome!
Thank you,

I did a ownership transfer but however the warranty is off and dell wants 250.00 plus tax from a CC to give me the bios password and hdd password, right now i am not working and need this laptop cause my desktop is dead... is there a way to short the Dell inspiron B130?

Service Tag G8DNBC1
Express code 35335169569

It wont boot to CD OR a floppy drive, it just goes to the Gray and white screen asking for the password with Service Tag ending in -595B, i heard that some people like Rustm_ can do but it is hard to get a hold of him, ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGELY APPRECIATED

no way of shorting method of DELL b130.sorry

ah crap! so there is no way to get pass it or to use the passwords that kimsland posted?

hi, can you give me a calculatet bios-passwort for the Dell Latitude D830 with the System Number: GCW2K3J-595B.
i cant boot from any CD.iso, because the cd-boot is also locked.
Thank you. Michael

Dell Latitude D830 passwort: can someone give it free or a calculater? thx, Michael

Greetings All.. I have a Dell c640 that I purchased at a Flea Market for $250, When I bought this machine it did not have a power supply with it.. There was just enough charge in the battery at the time it would get halfway through post then would power off. Okay I thought, all looks good.. I'll just grab a POwer Supply off eBay for it. After waiting for like a month and a half for the Power supply to arive, I was happy when it did and figured I would have a fairly decent notebook that my kid could use for school and if it got ripped off, it wouldn't hurt all that bad. Anyways, I charged up the battery on this, powered up and got the dreaded grey screen.. Needless to say I was choked, I have been searching different forums, over the months have disassembled the machine a couple times trying the paperclip method, I have tried 3&6, 5&7, and probebly every other combination known to man...everytime the notebook powers off as soon as I short the chip. I really don't want to have to spend yet another 100 dollars on this thing to have it unlocked online, What I thought would be a decent cheap system for my Kid to use for school has turned into something almost annoying as a pimple on the ***. I'm at the end of my rope with this thing.. do I fire it out the window and cut the loss or can someone help, it would be greatly appreciated.

you have to short pin 3&6 directly after you pushed the power button

I have been waiting weeks for Dell to replace my motherboard on my laptop. They finally show up and replace but forget to change the service tag to reflect my current one.

My question is does anyone still have the software to change service tags on a Dell laptop? Paragon33 had the DST CD ISO but all the links all dead from the past. Can someone please send me the files to change the service tag myself because I hate calling Dell. Thanks
