Thanks too all who commented.. was pins 3 & 6 and my problem has since been solved.. all I needed was a paperclip, and a screwdriver, can't believe all that soldering went on before. So when all in all it was user error.. Thanks again.

ozmaia, to remove admin bios password, you'll need to unsolder bios chip, and reflash it using external programmator.

 

he dosnt need to reflash bios chip,nor erase the eeprom like DELL paperclip cause the laptop wont boot!!!, he only need to read the eeprom dump with a I2C rs232 interface reader and try to to locate the password....

 

How do users get and read with a I2C rs232 interface reader?

Is the above link one?
If so, where does it plug into, and how do you read the chip?

 

to clear bios admin password for some laptops read steps below,
Under Dos/ MAKE A BOOT FLOPPY OR CD, you can use debug command to reset cmos CRC stored at 0x2E-0x2F type:
debug
-o 70 2E
-o 71 0
-q

reboot

 

Without looking up those debug commands
Will they also hurt harddrive files or filesystem

 

dbpk , thanks man on information but it sounds very complicated task to whom never done "mission" like that before. Even though I'm ex technician and definitely not frightened clipping reader wires to EEProm, I'm quite rusted :approve: (maybe I'm lazy too :rolleyes: ) and so I need more information how to perform all procedure (for example at which EEProm pins wires have to connected etc). Can you please give me more details and open my eyes?

Anyways, many thanks dbpk :grinthumb

 

no hurt at all

 

please try first debug commands...seems easy!!!

 

dbpk,

debug
-o 70 2E
-o 71 0
-q

didn't work for me, laptop is still asking for admin password

 

Obviously your Admin password, did not fall into that group

 

try to build an eeprom 24cxxx series i2cinterface reader (see piture),and download PONYPROG TO READ eeprom dump first locate the chip unsolder you must have 8 pins eeprom power it with 2 external AA bateries at gnd(4) and vcc+(8) solder two wires at SCL AND SDA as shown... see the picture,,,,and read eeprom dump!!

 

dbpk, again you tell me the bull****. did you do disassembly of nx8220/nc8230? there's no password in eeprom on this MB. and there's no 24cXX eeprom on this board, only 93c4x eeprom(this information is correct for nx61xx series, nc61xx series, nx82xx,nc8230 etc). dbpk, if you don't know, don't speak.

 

no offence and plz dont use bad words,,,realy i didnt had such hp laptop to chek wether it had 24cxxx eeprom, i give instructions for help that.all, and for 93cxx is a microwire eeprom and also is easy to read!!!

 

dbpk, ok i won't, but please, watch your words. 93cxx eeprom is used for MAC-adress and other service information storing.

 

not agree with i ve unlocked some laptops model in the past wich store password in microwire eeprom like 93cxxx series, and i have more experience than u in this ..so please wash ur mouth instead of using censored words.

 

dbpk, can you tell me some of laptop models with password in eeprom 93c46?

 

sure here some of :
Acer 630: eeprom 93c56
Sony pcg-fx950: eeprom 93c46
Toshiba 74600C: eeprom 93c56

hope you r not big headed as ALIDABIRI!!! )), hope tha can help.

 

wardino dell cpi

when you want i send you the documentation to remove the password

 

dbpk, ok, i'll chek this information. and i know, where you got it i have this txt-file too

 

yes true, but i swear that in the past i remember i.ve unlocked two laptops bye reading microwire eeprom. regards

 

i see you are still B.S'ing people with your nonsense.

 

yes please send me the documentation on how to remove the password..thanks in advance..
