http://homepage.ntlworld.com/judslat/paragon/ Go to this site and download the DST file and instructions. Delete and reset your Service Tag; that should take care of the password.Liquid Hat said:Can someone e-mail me a backdoor admin password for my lappy?
Service Tag is "WG7L5"
- it will let me run it with an OS that uses floppys to boot it... running Windows ME is tiresome... the config bios is disabled and I need the Admin password to enable config.
- bought it from my next door neighbour... who bought it from a guy... who bought it from ... etc etc.
I tried to run latitude.exe from cmd prompt and it wont allow me to enter a service tag... and I dont wanna dismantle this thing... I build PC's not maintain lappy's...
Thanks for understanding my ignorance to the lappy... dell makes great doorstops... LMAO :knock:
MrPlainkey said:hups, this Tip will destroy some newer Dells like Latitude D810. So I think it´s better to edit it.
Paragon33 said:Have you tried this tool? If you haven't, I have and one other user tried it successfully on a D610. You are too hung up on paper clips and this tool serves the same purpose. On the 93 series of eeprom chips, ground is pin 5 and the pins to use with the other contact are 2, 3, or 4, but the principle is the same. Besides, I do not like naysayers without at least checking, but since this an open forum, you are welcome to your opinion.Your much touted Paper clip Doc has many errors, but I have not taken you to task over that.

I just found this page this morning when my employer bought a couple C400s cheap, we found out why they were cheap when I booted them up and saw that they both had the passwords on 'em. After trying to norm (battery, power button for 10s etc etc) I started googling and eventually found this thread, I've read all 33 pages so far hehe, but I also now have 2 working C400s.
Paragon33 said:email removed I will send your 6-7 attachments which total around 8mb, so make sure you have sufficient room in your Inbox. The DST.zip should be Unzipped/Extract All to a DOS Bootable Diskette made in the A:\ drive format window with W-XP or W98 . That diskette allows you to delete and then reset your SAME Service Tag. Those actions erase the EEProm Chip and the password is erased also. The .pdf file covers the shorting procedure to clear the Primary Password and is enclosed for possible future use; it has the picture of the 24C02 EEProm chip.

Paragon33 said:If 3/6 pins do not work, try 4/6 and 4/5. In case of some doubt , the pins are numbered Counterclockwise around the chip starting with 1 in the lower left corner and 8 in the upper left as you look at the chip with the type number right side up
it may be useful to others to upload a picture here!Ididmyc600 said:The chip is on the outer edge of the board under the HDD slot.
I can't email as you didn't leave an address, if you private message me with your email I will send you a pic with the location
