in he same boat... Help

Hi I have poured through many of the suggestions and or solutions to the dell authentification problem.. My laptop was aquired after being disgarded at the dump two of them actually. I have no use for them but it seemed like a challenge to try and bypass this authentification system. moreover i decided to give the laptops to my son and his grandfather as they can make good use of them. well I have tried to jump the cute little chip using the paperclip method but unfortunitely after about a hundred tries I have given up. I guess either using them as paperweights or asking all of you are my only remaining options... I really enjoyed the challege so far but Im thinking strongly about using a hammer to fix the problem... any assistance you may offer would be great.
have tried latitude,exe
shorting method
pulling out my hair... oh and paragons site too Thanks!

Thank You in advance! Noahsdad
