HP / Dell / etc. laptop password help thread

remove HDD password is always possible if you know exact password. Such case is trivial.
No guide from me, I'm too lazy to do it, but I will be very grateful if you do it for all us.
Desktop BIOS usually doesnt support HDD passwords by ATA-3 standard so there no problem. Laptops HDD much harder, do you know free tools for that?
I agree, 95% passworded laptop have power-on password only, and few percents have HDD password. And better to purchase new HDD instead unlocking old one.

So hpgl, sorry you hadn't realized that! You can run simple code to remove a HDD password didn't you know that !?

Where's your guide hpgl ? Oh yeah you don't know enough to post one
So maybe I just could know a little more than you technically ;) (I'd say most likely)

Here's the part you missed hpgl, listen up

Are you suggesting hpgl that a standard locked password in any Desktop or laptop HARD DRIVE can't be unlocked freely? How absurd! You may need to learn up a bit.

....skipped rest blah-blah about spammers

So back to the thread, the other 99% do require specialized help, and obviously me and about 1 other here (Obi) are the only ones providing this free help. All I see you do is help users (edit: usually 1 user every 3 months) that may or may not even be legitimate, try helping a few members that do actually require your help. I'm sure we'll wait a looong time for that hey? Prove me wrong fool, prove me wrong. Obviously you can't.

Are you blamed me for infrequent help? :)
Are you wait when I will start to advertize something commercial to be banned?
No, it my will when I will post here and what I post, until it concern the topic.
Next message I will post about Dells BIOS quality negligence for years.
 
Hy guys!
I've a big problem with my laptop (HP Omnibook xe4500).
I've make a mistake with the BIOS password...
Can you give me my master password?
My System Hash Code: 03241

Than you!

Sorry for my bad english... It's not my native language...
 
dell bugs investigation

Why sometimes master password doesnt work: bug4, bugA95B
And why Dell doesnt fixed it so far or fixed after years. Why Dell didnt change password system at all, as many merchants trades master passwords?

bugA95B:
some DELL models have "bugA95B", in particular Inspiron 1525 bios version below A16.
BIOS claims -595B tag but as EC firmware have A95B algorithm, the master password must be calculated as A95B tag.

bug4:
Dell have "bug4" in the algorithm of checking master password:
1. read service tag from EC
2. send data to EC for dellhash1
3. receive from EC dellhash1 value
4. calculate dellhash2
5. send to EC raw data from dellhash2 value
6. ask EC to type in password and compare with master password calculated from raw data from dellhash2
7. EC return success or fail
The bug in the EC firmware in checking first byte of raw data of master password, if it zero - no master password,
But first byte may be legitemately zero in every 7th password beginning from '4'
Bug can be easily fixed by checking all 8 bytes for zero.
Some models like D600 doesnt have this bug but many other still have it.

You know that I was just getting you to post don't you ;)

Thanks for your help so far :grinthumb
And with that, he's gone offline again :( Oh well

Edit:
Wow keo80, it took 3mins for you to confirm that the password worked
From: hpgl post
Then you viewing it
Then you trying it
Then you confirming all is ok
Then replying to hpgl

It seems really lightening fast, nearly too quick to be true even ;)
I'd even go as far as saying not humanly possible :(
Oh well hpgl you haven't passed this quarter yet !

I was cheking the forum every 5 sec!!
Finally, internet community is always quicker than a standard hotline (2h spent with HP support hotline... with no result...)
 
OK, guys, you both know a whole bunch about Dells, which is very impressive. I wish someone knew that much about hps, especially the vt6200, lol. Anyway, I am still trying to come across someone who knows the secret behind mine, but I am very impressed with your vast knowledge of the others.
 
Kimsland, if you are asking me if I tried the attachment, I have. At least all of it that pertained to my hp. I haven't seen any jumpers like the latitudes jboot, and removing the batts and let it drain did nothing either. It still just does the password prompt, although occasionally, it shows the option of F10, but I hit it, and it still went to password. I'm scratchin my head on this one.

I downloaded the oldpass.zip, and it kept coming up currupted
 
Thanks I confirmed with 3 users that it does unzip !
So therefore you haven't tried it then ?

Which is it ? Tried the generator, or not tried ?

Anyway, you may need to try downloading it on another computer

Here it is again: https://www.techspot.com/vb/post610782-4.html

Edit:

By the way, there are 3 generators in that attachment

And there's also the D35B Dell password generator too in that thread too for any older model Dell computers
Actually that post should be the first point of reading for all Mobile password requests
Thankfully I have confirmed all working, well.
 
It is just not going to work for me on this computer, I have saved it, tried to open it, and everytime it says file is invalid or currupt. I don't know what the deal is.
 
kimsland said:
But I did test the attachment again ie here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/post610782-4.html
And it does seem to be working still. It must be your Zip program

Here's a few Zip programs you can try:

ZipGenius 6.0.3.1150
http://downloads.zipgenius.it/zg603sui.exe
7-Zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z457.exe (32-bit)
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z457-x64.msi (x64)
ALZip
http://www.altools.com/image/alzip.exe
Powerarchiver
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2007/powarc1022.exe
PKZIP
ftp://ftp.pkware.com/PK270WSP.EXE
Winzip
http://www.winzip.com/prod_down.htm
WinRAR
http://rarlab.com/rar/wrar38b5.exe

If it still doesn't work, then I suspect you may have a fault with your Windows or something

Good luck :grinthumb

If it helps at all I used WinRAR to zip it up in Zip format
 
dell latitude d830 bios password problem

cruthik said:
hey guys i discover something on my dell latitude d830. as i wrote before, still not able to boot. but everytime i switch it on i see the dell logo en before i see the grey/white screen. i get a message like this: "invalid configuration information - please run setup program." can somebody tell me what this means. any help would reaaly be appreciated.
Click to expand...
hello guys, I've also a dell latitude d830 and his bios has been password protected. how can I bypass that? Is it possible to "shortcut" his bios chip with the paperclip method? or do I need a masterpassword via it's servicetag number?
 
I also put a ReadMe.txt file in there as well, to avoid these questions
If you do not know how to copy and paste and how to run a DOS command you may need help from anyone there who can help. ie These basic Windows functions I won't discuss :rolleyes:

But at least we have learned that you haven't actually tried any of the 3 generators yet. In that Zip file
 
well, I go to the command prompt, or even run, and it will come up for a split second, and then it's gone. except for the unlock 6, but it ask which scan I want to run. I'm not sure where to go from there. I am not trying your patience, I am just not familiar to password retrieval. Please bare with me.
 
I'm sorry the commands are just too basic for me to explain
You must be very limited in computer knowledge. Just follow the ReadMe.txt file
If you have trouble, as I stated, then you may need to learn basic Windows commands including Start->Run-> CMD and the other info supplied in the text document:

Type in-> hdd_pw 12345 0 (where 12345 is actually the password error code)
Then Press 2 (Upper Case ASCII Code) (you will see this)

This area of Windows and how to use and understand it, is beyond (or below rather) the reason for this thread. Maybe go ask any teenager to help, it's very basic

Edit

I'm nearly positive that you will say "it" did not work
Well the 3 Generators give about 10 to 15 passwords to try, but as I said no doubt none will work for you !
Anyway, thankfully seeming there was no where else to get all 3 from the web that I could presently find, at least they exist here at TechSpot. Pretty sure a lot of members will be reading that thread (ie H E R E) So that's good at least ;) As others have already stated that the options in that thread have helped them :) TechSpot forums, are free help only
 
I do apologize for sounding as if I am clueless, but that is because I do not have an Error code, or hash code. If I can find that, I can further my search. I am not asking for the password just yet, this is the first laptop I have come across that doesn't shoot a hash at you. That was my problem. I think I could rub the 2 brain cells I've been living on together and figure it out from there, I am not an *****. I am sorry to have given that impression.

You certainly don't give that impression to me (ignorance possibly, but not idiocy)
I was thinking more on the lines of authentic or not (but I won't know the answer to that until a few more posts by you (hoping that you don't need to post more of course)
Generally most members post up to about 4 (if that, ie usually 1 or 2) password help requests. Yours seems to be climbing ever so surely :suspiciou

Here's that helpful thread again: https://www.techspot.com/vb/post610782-4.html
