why don't you ask your "boss" for the password? if he can't tell you then he sold you a $500 doorstop. give it back to him and get your money back.
well razik... somehow I knew that not all money spent on passwords is worth it.

dell 620

Hey guys, first of all good luck to everyone on your endeavors. I called dell about my problem and they want you to transfer ownership. Now if the laptop is stolen, your screwed. If not then you can do this. go to support dot dell dot com. click on customer service link on the left side, then click on transfer ownership on the left side. here you can transfer ownership. The tech guy said it should work no problem. He said he did it with his and it took about 3 weeks for the confirmation email, he believes it dragged because he worked for dell and some red flags were raised, delaying his approval, but the site says it should not take more than 5 business days. After you get the confirmation email then you can call tech support and they will assist you in removing any and all passwords including HDD. In the meanwhile, while I myself wait, maybe someone can help me service tag DQZCQB1-595B. I have done extensive research but cannot find a program to generate the password. I only found one for laptops with extension d35b not 595b. Only methods that seem to work are transfering ownership, spunlock dot com and shorting method. goodluck to all.

I forgot, when you transfer ownership, if you do not know the previous owner information, type "unknown" in the fields.

No, our experience is that most Dell transfers of ownership take 21 days as a matter of policy... whether you know the previous owner or not. But it is otherwise trouble free.

Whether you can get the password straigtened out, or not, remains haphazard at best.

Dell lattitude D620 password issues

My sister bought a dell Latitude D620 at computer show.. to replace the screen on her damaged unit.
The ting is this unit is in an overall better condition than what she has .so I attempted to restore that unit and realized that it is password protected and we are unable to get any further, the man at the computer show said he bought it in an auction and don't no any password..
Is there any other way to reset to get around the password.
PS: I have the service tag #

Any assistance is appreciate I would prefer to restore this one and scrap my sisters instead..

thanks in advance

Hi all. So is there any chance for me to get masterpassword for my #5Q7NQ2J-595B or should I immediately start to search this tiny EEPROM chip on the motherboard?

I would be willing to shell out a few sheckles for the unlocking service. But then im faced with a possible locked HD issue that id have to shell out more for.

I have already thrown away $600 to buy the laptop and approx. 28 hours of time researching the solution. So as the situation goes ill throw the stupid thing in my closet until such a time that the solution is made readily available. And people are not charging an arm,leg and left nut for the simple generating of a key. the model of the lappy i picked up from an electronic resale shop is D630 it is also a 595b service tag. the owner of the shop refuses to take it back, insinuating i set the password. dell will not transfer ownership because i have no information on previous owner. so i made a bad descision. its no bodys fault but my own and ill take the bullet. but im not willing or ready to be reamed again by shelling out cash for a service that is (probably) not going to be a secure process. meaning i have a chance of being ripped off again. final conclusion to this issue. Do i want to unlock and use the laptop = yes. Do i need to have it = no. So the simple answer is i will be patient and probably wait a year or 2 to have a newer laptop. as of now i have a pentium 4 hp laptop that gets the job done.
