Dell Latitude LS400 HD1 Master Password
I hope someone can help me, I have read through all the forums for info on the subject and have tried everything, but still no joy!
I bought the Dell Latitude LS400 a couple of years ago on ebay without a HD, I then installed a 40gb Seagate HD with XP and everything worked fine untill last week. I rebooted the machine and that's when it failed to reboot, instead giving me the blue screen and asking for the "HD1 Password". After 3 failed attempts it asks for the "HD1 Master Password".
I have never set any passwords and why did it work for so long without asking for this info? I tried Dell and they won't help unless I give them the previous owners details, which I don't have anymore. Will I be able to get the info from this HD if I connect to my main PC through an external casing and how would I get past the Admin password?
Dell service tag 5D3B00J-D35B
Express service code 116-755-240-51
Bios version A05
Model number PP01S
I have tried Latitude MasterPW, but the code generated is not accepted.
Any help would be appreciated, I just need to get my info from the HD!
