I know I've said this before, but you guys really need to give me the entire string provided on the password screen. It should be something like: #5112H4J-XXXB. I need the last 4 characters.
Carolynn, any chance yours ends with -2A7B? If so, my program is showing your password is:
@gremzilla559
I am curious as to why you need this password? or actually more why you do not know this password?
@euro sport
How do you know that the use is legit... aka non stolen laptop?
That would be something hunting my mind when I would give away these passwords.
Mafketel, the password authentication system is a joke. Anyone can simply contact Dell and go through the service tag transfer process and wait the mandatory 10 business days so they can get the same exact password from Dell's customer support.
You do not need the previous owners information, as you can simply tell Dell that you bought it used and don't know the previous owners information. They don't care and will gladly give you the password once your name is tied to the service tag.
I'm trying to save people some time instead of having to go through the hassle with Dell CS.
It's really none of my business where the laptops come from or what their history is. You'd be surprised how many people set this password up accidentally -- thinking they could add a bit of extra protection to their system, when in fact the password is not user changeable. Big uh-oh there!
Great Video and ideal if the Epromm Chip is hard to get at, although the easier way to do that is just use a paper clip to short the chip then it will remove the password. i was fortunate enough to have my Epromm chip sitting near my Ram Slots on my Dell XPS so a quick short of the chip whilst poweing on the laptop does the job without having to dismantle, solder or wire things up.
Back in the day it was harder to do on the older machines, i used to have a Ibm Thinkpad and that was a bitch to do but, i did it and had to build a circuit board with a serial connector, run some software and then send the software file off to Australia to some guy who written a program to decode the bios password. im so glad i dont ever have to go through that again.
