HELP ME OBI-WAN, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!
Seriously though, In my search for info to get my Dell 1536 working I stumbled upon this thread and you guys seem pretty knowledgeable so I'm hoping you may be able to help me out.
As I said, I have a dell 1536 that, as far as I know, has never had a BIOS password saved to it. Upon a reboot, during the BIOS check the computer asked for a admin password. I attempted to provide my typical passwords to no avail and then started researching the problem further. I found a couple sites where I was able to determine that the admin password for my service tag #D8C1WG1-595B should be 4eczrfkr. Unfortunately this password doesn't seem to work. I've tried it in about every iteration I can think of. Including pressing ctrl-enter and using a usb keyboard. In a few threads there seemed to be some speculation that Dell changed the algorithm at some point for the -595B BIOS. I'm hoping someone here may have some info regarding this so I can get this thing working again. If this doesn't work I'm afraid I'm going to have to chalk it up to a borked BIOS.
Any help is appreciated in advance.
