pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez help me

guys, stick with the dell / hp password thread and with the forum rules!
you should also try the search function and read before asking questions that have been answered here alot.
if you are looking for a free solution - good luck :-)

Just an observation.

The search system on this site is not very useful at all. No matter what i search for, i always seem to get the same threads back. I searched for quite some time and found absolutely nothing even remotely close to my search terms.

thanks for the input but after a while you will see how you can best use the search function for you. and as all search functions do it will only show available results. if there is no 100% result it will show you related stuff which would also explain you getting always the same or almost the same results.
anyway... hope you'll enjoy your stay :-)

heloo my frends
