guys, download the dst-cd and boot your laptops with it. then change or remove the service tag and voila the bios configure password (which I think you are talking about) is gone. reboot and see for the bios settings are free to change. remember you should put in your correct service tag again to avoid warranty problems.
here you find the dst-cd iso: http://www.download.centre4service.com/software1.html password: smellyalater hope this helps you! mscrx |

erm, you can do that. press f12 during the dell post screen to get the one time boot menu and from there you select your optical drive

yes 520 is one of the newer generations but I think I already tested this procedure on my company laptop, a D820, and it worked.
Anyways I think its worth a try, isn't it? cheers, mscrx |

Thankx all for your help. I managed to reset bois password by changing the service tag. It worked like a charm on a D510. Because boot was locked on HDD I had to make HDD with service tag reset software on it. You are all wizards, guys!

please READ before you post your st**** comments!
and to answer your question: you can say this for as long as you need to get that you are talking about the system password. wake up! this one and the other thread are about the BIOS CONFIGURE PASSWORD ffs |

I am NOT talking about the system password FFS!
There are 3 password options: Primary Admin System (hard disk) If Primary is set (which is the first and most obvious one to set), then this disk won't boot. Go and test first instead of shooting your mouth off and making yourself look like a ****. HTH. Mave |

sorry but read above and see that we are talking about the CONFIGURE pw as it is called admin pw on some models. nobody is talking about the primary or sytem pw here, get it?
why would laurp say: Thankx all for your help. I managed to reset bois password by changing the service tag. It worked like a charm on a D510. Because boot was locked on HDD I had to make HDD with service tag reset software on it. You are all wizards, guys! ???????????? because of primary or system pw?? reading is the key |
