Hi!

Please help me to clear the Bios password of the Dell latitude D520
Service tag: #CPG3N1S-595B
Express Service Code: 27660086128
REV A01 (I am not sure if this is Bios version but I found it underneath of the laptop in case if you need it)

I looked at the Paragon site but there is no D520 model so I dont know what to do to get the password or some way to crack it. Please help me

Thanks a lot and hope I got a reply from you soon

Hello,
I have the same laptop and same problem. I can do the shorting but cannot find the chip. Have you found which chip is the eeprom chip to be shorted. And I assume that you short ALL pins, so if it has 6 legs ALL need to be shorted? Please share with me what you have found out.

Thanks,
Julie

d520 unlocked!!! :-)

I have latitude d520 with xxxxxxx-595B service tag, my bios was locked but I successfuly unlock them. Procedure is: remove coin-cell Battery for couple minutes, put them back. And all bios settings now are on default. that mean in boot order, usb, cd/dvd is now switched on. Now you must download this file download.centre4service.com/svctag.rar and make bootable usb drive. Pass for archive is "smellyalater". Remove the hard drive and put usb in laptop, turn it on and fallow procedure.

Bosnian rulez!
