Bios C840

Hello
I have 2 laptops, latitude c840 dell. Both are secured with bios password. I've tried everything I've found on the forum: I've localised eeprom (it is under CD drive). I've tried to reset chip with using shorts 3/6, 3/5 and 4/6. I've also tried Paragon33 metod with gator, and tried short 5 and 6 pin to grount. Unfortunatelly it is give no positive results. I've read on one forum that it is possible to cut power to eeprom (8 pin) and I did it in one of my laptops... well the result is i've unlock the comp, but it didn't see HDD and CD.. Pls help me if you can. PLEASE!

Thanks.
 
you need to go into bios and see if there's an exclamation point (!)in front of hdd and cd. i'm 99% sure there is. press "ins" key, and the exclamation point will disappear. this is what happens when a pc is bios locked. the hdd and cd is disabled. you have to re-enable them.

the only way to remove the password is to "read" it from the eprom. maybe you can elaborate on this new technique by way of RFID.

Generally, not possible to happen without keyboard action or fingerprint action.
Darn near impossible to fix on a Thinkpad without replacing the Motherboard.
Met a lot of people who claim they can do it. Nobody has actually produced, that I have heard about.
Good luck. Let us know if you get a reliable source.
Try calling IBM
If you are a registered owner, call 1-(800) 426-7378 and have handy your serial number, type number and relevant part numbers or look for IBMSERV.

you should check your facts again. the password CAN BE read from the eeprom. people do this every day. IBM wants $1,100.00 for a motherboard for a pc that's worth $150.00
here's a stater for you: www.password-removal.com

No, Mr. Snoobs, this is not right. Password removal is machine by machine. Each model can have a different password hardware and software system... Several models may be similar, then you might have the next model that is different... and it varies widely to very widely by brand and model.
Shorting out some chips worked once on older models, but those could usually never be passworded again. Others, even adjacent Dell models, can not be shorted out.
Newer systems require a EEPROM programmer with a knowledge of how the system password works. There are many Dell and Lenovo brands that cannot be fixed by a normal human being once the password is there, unless it is done at the home base of the manufacturer.
It is as much a matter of luck as anything.

Dude,
you're giving wrong information to people. the eeprom chip CAN BE read and the password can be revealed. no need to call IBM. you may want to read up on this eeprom reading subject, because you seem to be giving the wrong info. check this one site: www.password-removal.com
 
WRONGGG!

A quick fix is pretty much impossible... perhaps finding another person with a D620... or talk to Dell.
Unless you are the registered owner, Dell will not help, and it takes about 21-30 days to get registered.
The Dell Latitude D620 is a difficult password fix.
Suggest you read through all the Dell password messages on this TechSpot forum, and there are at least 800 messages... in there somewhere, there may ba a clue, and there may be a person who can repair it... but you may have to ship it elsewhere to get it done. The answer, if there is one, is somewhere in our log of Dell password messages.
You may get lucky, and have the one or two experts who can fix it read your message and contact you.
A fix from a professional service will cost as much as $450... Best place I know of is in Ontario, Canada.

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS ONE: www.password-removal.com
it's nowhere near $450.00 and they're located in USA.

unfortunatelly, there's no exclamations before drives in bios, I can't activate them, I think this mother board is lost. But I have one more question, what to do with secon one, which has a password too. I can't reset eeprom memory and remove service tag in any way..

Dell D505

I have locked up my Latitude D505 some 4months ago. (teenagers in the home) I was going away to work but I totally forgot what I had entered, eating a little crow!!
i keep getting a invalid pass. I have contacted Dell, but because I bought this from the employer now sold to a new company they won't help me.
if someone can let me know on what to do I would greatly appreciate it. I see everyone posting the system #. Don't have a clue what to do.

Any info would be great!

PS: hubby very :mad:

Latitude D630 service tag removal tools

Hi Guys,
I'm new here, hope to get some help.
I bought a used Latitude D630 from someone on a trading website. I was told there is no more warranty from dell. I couldn't see any service tag sticker n can't locate it on bios. Everything is fine, but service tag was stated as PUNKY31.

I understand there are tools to rename the service tag, appreciate if someone could email me the tools: email removed

Thanks.

NO.
t60 uses a different technology. a different device is needed to read the password on that one. ibm went back to the eeprom chip on the t61 model.
cheers.

it's referred to as pc8394. if you know what i mean.
T43, R52, T60, R60, Z60 and x60 use
Winbond PC8394T-VJG, the super I/O chip with TPM functions.
a different method is used to read these guys.
cheers
 
svctag and Asset.com may help you.
I posted them here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/post574124-132.html
Using asset /? should show you lots of uses, like Asset /o for owner tag

Just read the post, also going here: http://www.download.centre4service.com/home.html (also in the above link)

But I'm not sure what you can change the service tag to, if you don't even have the sticker.

There is a lot more info here, mainly regarding password removal:
