dell 620

Hey guys, first of all good luck to everyone on your endeavors. I called dell about my problem and they want you to transfer ownership. Now if the laptop is stolen, your screwed. If not then you can do this. go to support dot dell dot com. click on customer service link on the left side, then click on transfer ownership on the left side. here you can transfer ownership. The tech guy said it should work no problem. He said he did it with his and it took about 3 weeks for the confirmation email, he believes it dragged because he worked for dell and some red flags were raised, delaying his approval, but the site says it should not take more than 5 business days. After you get the confirmation email then you can call tech support and they will assist you in removing any and all passwords including HDD. In the meanwhile, while I myself wait, maybe someone can help me service tag DQZCQB1-595B. I have done extensive research but cannot find a program to generate the password. I only found one for laptops with extension d35b not 595b. Only methods that seem to work are transfering ownership, spunlock dot com and shorting method. goodluck to all.

I forgot, when you transfer ownership, if you do not know the previous owner information, type "unknown" in the fields.
 
No, our experience is that most Dell transfers of ownership take 21 days as a matter of policy... whether you know the previous owner or not. But it is otherwise trouble free.

Whether you can get the password straigtened out, or not, remains haphazard at best.

Dell lattitude D620 password issues

My sister bought a dell Latitude D620 at computer show.. to replace the screen on her damaged unit.
The ting is this unit is in an overall better condition than what she has .so I attempted to restore that unit and realized that it is password protected and we are unable to get any further, the man at the computer show said he bought it in an auction and don't no any password..
Is there any other way to reset to get around the password.
PS: I have the service tag #

Any assistance is appreciate I would prefer to restore this one and scrap my sisters instead..

thanks in advance
 
Hi all. So is there any chance for me to get masterpassword for my #5Q7NQ2J-595B or should I immediately start to search this tiny EEPROM chip on the motherboard?

I would be willing to shell out a few sheckles for the unlocking service. But then im faced with a possible locked HD issue that id have to shell out more for. Now if i could have them both done for $100. I would do it. But im not spending any more on it. I have already thrown away $600 to buy the laptop and approx. 28 hours of time researching the solution. So as the situation goes ill throw the stupid thing in my closet until such a time that the solution is made readily available. And people are not charging an arm,leg and left nut for the simple generating of a key. the model of the lappy i picked up from an electronic resale shop is D630 it is also a 595b service tag. the owner of the shop refuses to take it back, insinuating i set the password. dell will not transfer ownership because i have no information on previous owner. so i made a bad descision. its no bodys fault but my own and ill take the bullet. but im not willing or ready to be reamed again by shelling out cash for a service that is (probably) not going to be a secure process. meaning i have a chance of being ripped off again. final conclusion to this issue. Do i want to unlock and use the laptop = yes. Do i need to have it = no. So the simple answer is i will be patient and probably wait a year or 2 to have a newer laptop. as of now i have a pentium 4 hp laptop that gets the job done.

yeh why not?,,,,you can put it in freezer for one year
 
Im sorry if it sounded like im insulting you because im not. and i would prefer to have a conversation with you through pm but i cant yet because i need 5 posts. when i get my 5 i will pm you. ;)
 
It is wiser not to PM, but to post here

This is because:

History
What you have tried and suggested
Many minds work better than one
Information for all not just one.
 
true but the things i am going to ask are not things to be discussed in forum. without penalties. anything that does not bend the forum rules i will definatly post here!
 
Possible you could generalize the question here at least - before PM

ie Where to find unlock key
Is there costs usually involved
What are the proceedures generally
Can I PM you about...

Generally most dislike the PM option, (otherwise the member may get hundreds!)
If it's within TOC post questions here.
 
Well from my understanding there is a program used to generate a master key. A keygen of sorts.... Other than that shorting or changing the EEPROM is a suitable way to remove the password. Some newer dell models have different EEPROM and have no way to short as of yet! Unfortunatly i have one of those models! The next thing in question is paying someone with the master keygen to pass along the unlock key! That being done you now may have a hdd lock inplace where you would have to divy out more shineys to get the key for it or find some other way to unlock it. I have heard that this HDD lock can be done with certain software. But have no knowledge on if its actually true. All in all this dell password issue brings mixed results to alot of people. The only thing that is sure to work is the master key. Seeing as how thats the Option that is working the best i would have to say pay someone to have it done and hope that there is no hdd lock. In wich case you would have to start all over to seek the means of unlocking it. Hope this clarifies some things for people.
 
The dst floppy or cd should take care of most of your problems with dell bios passwords. If not all you need to do is short the bios battery connector pins and reboot to the dst floppy. This unlocks the eeprom for reprogramming.
Google the dst floppy.

Are you saying that the shorting method will work for my d630? Because if so i need the info on where the chip is and which pins to short!
 
shorting method dosnt work for thoes DELL D models (420,430,520,530,620,630,820,830,,,XPS)
you will damage your laptop.
