OK IM IN!!!!!! FINALLY!!! all i did was call dell. if your not the owner and your dell is like mine, when you turn the laptop on it the first name of the owner. example: cristas computer. when you call dell give them your express code and when they ask who you purchased the laptop from just say i purchased it. when they ask your name give them the name on the screen and make up a last name. then say your mother or who ever did all the registering stuff so you dont know what name she used.
thats all i did and they gave me the bios pass. and the hd pass. now my only problem is getting into windows itself. tried safe mode stil wants pass. please HELP!!!

Note: this CD is for viewing Windows logon passwords, not Dell bios passwords what-so-ever.

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
NONO, your WRONG! !GNORW your WRONG. I'm not lucky but smart, why would I transfer a stolen laptop to my real name and address- hint hint. I gave them your info dbpk, so they are probably gonna be after you!

I know that's a joke, but I don't think you should threaten others.
(Please don't reply back with any response from this - just continue on)

Do a search for the threads on this forum having to do with Dell Password, and Inspiron passwords. They will bring you up to date, with some sometimes possible fixes.

Dell lattitude D420 admin pwd problem

I know this has been in plenty of Forums before (there appears to be 100’s of threads on this topic) and I understand the nature and sensitivity of asking these questions. Laptops and other merchandise are stolen on a regular basis that’s a fact of life. I am sure there are various unscrupulous people out there. But there are various other means of obtaining 2nd hand equipment primarily through EBay, auctions and various stores that specialise in used goods. In my case I obtained a 2nd hand Latitude D420 from a reputable 2nd hand store. (I can produce a receipt if need be) Through their naivety or ignorance they do not check every aspect of each piece of equipment they purchase. My problem is that the ADMIN password is set not the system or HDD password just the Admin and I would like to remove it. I have gone through the usual channels and explained my case to Dell and though they have no issues with this they will not disclose a master password unless I can prove whom the previous owners were. Naturally this is a problem, as I don’t know this. I can supply the service tag and various other information to Dell but to no avail. I went to the store I purchased it from and they shrugged their shoulders and don’t know either. I have told them I will be pursuing a case for a refund if this cannot be removed. But I am up against time as they are reluctant to refund me and tell me to get this resolved ASAP. I suppose in my case it is a case of buyer beware. I don’t have an issue paying for this so if anyone can help in the reset of the ADMIN password on my Model PP9S DELL D420 it would be appreciated.

have you tried the dst-cd? changing or deleting the service tag also removes the bios admin / configuration password. not sure if it works on a x20 but its worth a try! search for it in the forum or in my posts - I did explain the procedure alot of times here.
and please post back with the result!

lol yeah "klick klack"
choose the cd, floppy or usb version. depends on what you can boot the laptop.
if you cannot boot any of this devices try to hit f12 during the dell post screen. this should open the one time boot menu from where you can choose other boot devices.

good luck
