Remove BIOS passwords - DELL Latitude series These ones are something different. DELL notebooks save their BIOS password in an EEPROM-chip so it isn't deleted when you short-circuit the BIOS battery or something like that. Also there's no jumper/DIP-switch which disables the password. Nevertheless,
there are three different ways to get such things fixed: I will describe the second one here. service tags with -D35B Switch on the notebook until you get the password-entry screen, which should
look like this one: Notice the service tag number 8WG030J-D35B which is the key to the
password. Now hack this number into the nice tool (Latitude_MasterPW.exe) you
can download here (there is another tool included for
Latitude XPi) and generate your master password. Now enter this master password on the password prompt (Remember that on German keyboards, z <=> y!), hold down the Ctrl-key and press Enter twice. Et voilą! I don't know why, but somehow, my service tag changed to 8WG030J-595B
(either it was because of this password breach or because of a BIOS upgrade). Also read the DELL-section under General strategies. |
