It is wiser not to PM, but to post here

This is because:

History
What you have tried and suggested
Many minds work better than one
Information for all not just one.

true but the things i am going to ask are not things to be discussed in forum. without penalties. anything that does not bend the forum rules i will definatly post here!

Possible you could generalize the question here at least - before PM

ie Where to find unlock key
Is there costs usually involved
What are the proceedures generally
Can I PM you about...

Generally most dislike the PM option, (otherwise the member may get hundreds!)
If it's within TOC post questions here.

Well from my understanding there is a program used to generate a master key. A keygen of sorts.... Other than that shorting or changing the EEPROM is a suitable way to remove the password. Some newer dell models have different EEPROM and have no way to short as of yet! Unfortunatly i have one of those models! The next thing in question is paying someone with the master keygen to pass along the unlock key! That being done you now may have a hdd lock inplace where you would have to divy out more shineys to get the key for it or find some other way to unlock it. I have heard that this HDD lock can be done with certain software. But have no knowledge on if its actually true. All in all this dell password issue brings mixed results to alot of people. The only thing that is sure to work is the master key. Seeing as how thats the Option that is working the best i would have to say pay someone to have it done and hope that there is no hdd lock. In wich case you would have to start all over to seek the means of unlocking it. Hope this clarifies some things for people.

The dst floppy or cd should take care of most of your problems with dell bios passwords. If not all you need to do is short the bios battery connector pins and reboot to the dst floppy. This unlocks the eeprom for reprogramming.
Google the dst floppy.

you find it here

Here's the link Dell Bios Password removal. Read this first BEFORE posting.

Are you saying that the shorting method will work for my d630? Because if so i need the info on where the chip is and which pins to short!

shorting method dosnt work for thoes DELL D models (420,430,520,530,620,630,820,830,,,XPS)
you will damage your laptop.

People... may I advised that after you have tried all the rest... then try the Best said zakri ([COLOR="Red"]email removed[/COLOR]) This is the mann!!! If you can find it within yourself to trust a complete stranger, and you goal outweights sensible thinking then I sincerely believe he can assist you with DELL laptop password issues...My sisters D620 is up and running... thanks much...and blessings..1

Apologies pls if i posted email address when I think I should have not....cutting and pasting can put you in trouble

first of all no need to apologize. you could edit the post and just remove the email.
second is I remember some post of guys who felt ripped off by this zakri or razik or whatever they call him. so not sure if he really is "the man"?!
plus you're not the first one who came here and made some 5 posts advertising for him. maybe you are this guy - who knows? for me its sort of strange and if I were in need of a password I would be careful and not listening to ads unless they were posted by a well known tech who is an active and reliable member.
sorry, don't take this personal but there is too much rip-off going on and its hard to believe everything....

peace!

he has the right to mention his name but no the email adresse as the reglement says!!!
also im not agree with you (MSCRX),,he is telling the truth, this guy is serious, maybe he had some troubles in the past with some members here, but as he explained to me that he did contacte every of them and gave him his password! otherwise we could find
thoes guy claiming agianst him right now,isn't true??
no one is forced to buy solution from zakri... i think if someguys gives positives feedback for him this way it should be so as interested members can go to the right place.

guys, I was posting my opinion whether you agree or not.
it is up to everyone to do whatever he/she wants!

and btw it is against the forum rules to make paid offers!
ok, you don't make the offer but you keep on advertising for one. thats not any better!

now, lets stop this useless discussion because it doesn't help.
tell that zarik razik guy that hes more than welcome to come here and share knowledge but not to make money!

UHH wrong Raybay!!!! Your WRONG! hehe, I completed the transfer of ownership on saturday night and was supposed to wait for an email to confirm completion, up to three weeks. Well I got antsy and called tech support to try to speed up process yesterday, Tuesday and they informed me the change had gone through already!!! 2 days later. Tech support said they say 3 weeks for worst case scenario, but guys go to support.dell.com click on custumer service on left then on ownership transfer. If you do not know previous owner information type unknown. Took me two days for the master password AND HDD password. Better than working with the asshol*s at spunlockdotcom

Plus I got the warranty till 2009. If any of you guys need help unlocking a service tag with a 595b tag, feel free to contact me at [COLOR="Red"]email removed[/COLOR]- that's my spam email account, so I don't care if i receive spam. Service tags with d35b should be pretty straightforward.

wrong wrong!!!!, you v got a good luck, why cause the laptop that you were seeking for ownerchip was not stolen or exactly was not declared stolen bye his owner,,, if it was so, you could never got the ownerchip but the police behind you,..
your lucky,
i advise people here if they want to mak an ownership of thier machines must first be sure if this dell is not red listed in DELL inc database ,you must simply phone the service center and and tell the that you wanna buy a laptop from a guy that you dont exactly know if he is the ligitim owner.....then you can get the sutable answer. after you can decide

Wow a workaround to see if the laptop you own is stolen or not
Although this may work, I'm not sure if it's the best advice for anyone holding stolen goods.

Here's the possible future result, you knew it was stolen (by contacting Dell with bogus information) and then decided not to let them know.

Lets just hope your poor child's laptop doesn't get stolen, from a person with a mind such as yours.

you missunderstanding me...plz read carefully. i do not encorage stolen laptop i just try to help people find issues....why the hell some members here throw quik judgements ?

I agree with that the "defence reply issue" from members can be annoying

But the real concern is for others reading this, now and into the future.
TechSpot would never condone this behaviour so this must be stated.

Please continue to provide help though, within the TOC
