HP / Dell / etc. laptop password help thread

thx for your quick response: guess what, after trying to enter 3 times a wrong passwort it just switches off itself.. kinda tricky!

charlie.

so no remote unlock possible, only to try to remove the enternal keyboard under there is electronic card with bios chip and a small EEPROM chip 24c08 that you must readthe and extract the binary file.. but not short it! cause you may get dead laptop!!!

goodluck
 
DELL Bios Password Removal

Hi,

My sister purchased a DELL Cpi ds233st from a yard sale this past weekend. She got it to give to her grand daughter for Xmas. Of course she has not been able to get past the Bios Password. I tried the standards of Dell and various forms of admin and Administrator.

Next I am going to remove the battery for a few hours to see if that helps.\

Meanwhile, I am trying to find a password regenerator for this model. I have had no luck so far. Does anyone know of such a prorgram or a way to do it.

The tag # is Z31W9**-D35B

Thanks for your help.

You know the reason, why I don't help on this forum, is because Why ?
Unless all the known members (who I check everyday, usually twice) who ask for payments are banned. If I was allowed to I'd ban them all in a drop of a hat :)
Maybe I might ask if I can do this... :rolleyes:
 
I figured he was gonna say that... I mean, after all, it's not like anybody expected otherwise, right??

Yes, kim, please find out if banning payment-extracting members can be part of your moderation.

Dell D530 Password

Another day dawns.... and my d530 is useful only as an expensive door stopper. The very familiar:

#9jfdh3j-595b

stares back at me and its pretty pointless even switching it on nowadays. Maybe one day I shall break into a dance once the password is cracked but Im just dreaming right? After reading this forum the rumors of the 24c02 chip and the paper clip method, I gingerly dismantled the thing and reached for my magnifying glass and scoured the heavens and the earth.....nope, the mind boggles and twas all in vain, some people may know my pain. All I know is Im not paying, yet again, on this thing called the dell d530.

If any kind hearted soul can point me in any direction then give me a :wave: anything will do, the name of a chip, or a mystical password bender, or even the address for dell:evil: then hey just give me a yell!
 
Dell D530 has been stated as cannot be shorted :(
Sorry you must try other means

Other means being another pay for service? If it cant be shorted then can not the chip be replaced? I just need a part number to track down so I can replace the chip... I have a bga rework station at hand so replacing the smd is no problem.

How about a eeprom programmer? Never used one but willing to learn, just not prepared to waste more money on failed so-called services.
 
There is no secrecy to these part numbers
I am presently busy, but I'm sure to find this p\n at Google somewhere
As for the eBay member, who knows

actually Dell will tell you anyway
 
tried professor google but Im ready to bash my head against the wall..... its frustrating enough trying to find a solution, never mind a part number! I'll add that to my list of never-ending searches...
 
oh and if it encourages anyone to help....Im blonde, blue eyes and long legs :slurp:


i advice you do not try any hardware solution for ur dell ; shorting..replacing chip...etc , cause nothing will work you will loose money,,,
 
Awww thats just great. :(

I guess I should put the laptop back together again and carry on using it as a door stopper. What a waste of time. Thanks anyway....

If anyone can decipher this:

#9jfdh3j-595b

already lost out on £30, someone (lowlife) was convinced that there is a 24c02 in my D530 and sent me the chip and wouldnt tell me the chip part number up front until I paid. Wouldnt accept it when I told him there is no 24c02 chip. Then there was the 'buy the master password service' which didnt work at all.

I give up. Joining this forum was a last attempt to find a way to do it myself. Thanks folks and good luck to everyone out there.
 
Dell Inspiron 1100 jump issue

I have been working on this Inspiron 1100 for about a month now, trying to get past the bios password. I have contacted dell many times with no luck because I do not know the original owner who purchased it 4 years ago. So I find the jumping method where you reset 2 of the pins on the eprom chip or w.e they call it. I have done all that successfuly and now have a hole drilled on the bottom of the laptop for easy access jumping. The problem I'm having now is that your supposed to be able to jump the chip and it erases the service tag, problem solved. But what mine is doing is I jump it and it will work fine untill I power it down. Then the service tag is bag on the laptop and so is the Bios password. Not sure what is causing this, but I also downloaded a cd with ASSET.com and SVCTAG.EXE on it and was told that I could jump the laptop, and then use this cd to reset the service tag so I can go into the bios and change the bios password. I believe I am running the programs correctly because when I boot from cd after jumping the laptop and run asset.com to change the service tag it says completed, but it does not save the new service tag. So now I'm stuck with a laptop that I have to stick a paper clip into everytime I want to turn it on to use it. Could really use some help if anyone has any advice, I know I probably confused some with my explaination.

Dell wont help as the ownership needs to be transfered from what I understand. Its a bleedin laptop not a house or a car!

I cant find on google any info about the p\n of this eeprom.

I would like to locate the eeprom and use a programmer to see if I can salvage anything before the laptop goes in the bin.

Is this even possible?

Its a dell d530

if anyone knows the location of this eeprom

Or the part number...

and if its programmable or readable...

would help.... or the laptop gets it.

If you can boot from anything, use DST software, if not use shorting procedure
Procedure works fine on inspiron 4000.

Latitude D630

Hello everyone.
First let me say that this is great! All these people putting out information like this, its incredibly helpful for a newbie like myself.

Ok so here is my problem. I have this latitude D630 that is locked. I have been through quite a few post and threads on this sight ( I have been reading for 7 hours fact) and have come to this conclusion. The clip process will not work, the software did not work( maybe because this computer is a later model?), I am in the process of contacting dell but the tell me it will take a month due to ownership issues. This is a christmas present so if possible I could use it quicker than that. The battery process will not work.

Basically I am saying that I NEED SOMEONES HELP PLEASE!!!

If there are any ideas out there please let me know your assistance would be much appreciated.
Oh the service tag is 66gf2d1-595b
