andbaxt join the crusade :grinthumb
I've been trying to find it for some time now
I have this huge Dell folder with txt/pdf/picture documents, utilities, stacks of links; pics of internals and everything on chips. But no 595B program
Yes I agree it exists.
As a first approach, I contacted Dell too see if it's legal to gain
They said sorry but we can't redistribute it openly (Why Not?) Even MS supply the Windows password removal feature, but Dell seem to think it's somehow profiteering for them to hold onto it
Once I do get it, I'll be posting it
worldwide, including all over Dell's boards. Be aware it is not illegal to have it in you pocession, except that it is likely copyrighted and owned solely by Dell (without redistribution)
So that brought me to contacting the
sharks that actually do use it (and are not using it from Dell's support area)
They informed me that they have made (programmed) their own, and that due to this, they believed they could ask for payment of service.
So back to Dell I go, and inform them (as they obviously knew anyway) that you (Dell) are forcing others to pay exhaubarart (spelling?) amounts for something that should be free anyway, I also pointed out that some master passwords were available for
other models anyway, and freely obtainable.
Again No, sorry cannot help. But we are happy for you to use these
sharks if you wish, at your responsibility. (obviously) Informing them again that this private service is in hundreds (if not thousands) of locations all over the web. And that anyone could use this service at
high cost. Therefore, making this program freely available would be wiser, and will probably make more users come to your site signing up to download it (even at a small cost - note the present cost at Dell is $39, but you can't have the program, just the master password).
By the way I don't own a Dell.
So off I went searching, and searching. Accumulating stacks (as mentioned earlier)
But I cannot find it (and I take pride in being able to know how to search absolutely everywhere) But still no. I can't believe that all these companies (and single private owners) are so tight. Even Windows itself was hacked. But not this!
So my only option is to wait until someone does either torrent, or ftp or put it way back in a website somewhere (pretty sure it must be under a different name too, like log.txt or something stupid)
So do me and everyone a favour, and contact Dell, and state that they are causing way more angry users than happy ones, in regards to users password protecting their systems, that only pulling the damn thing apart and shorting pins can remove.
Ofcourse the response from others, will be make your own (takes about 3 months to do!) and then give it away. (thinking that I probably wouldn't)
Why, it's already made by Dell. And no doubt most are using the Dell one anyway.
Just post it!
