I accidently forgot my admin bios password on a dell laptop. I always used the user password to gain access to the computer. When I finally decided that I really didnt want to use this feature I disabled the user password thinking the admin password was only needed if you wanted to access the bios settings. Then when i booted my computer it is still asking me for a bios password. Now I can no longer get in to my laptop because it asks me for a password which im guessing is the admin one which i forgot. Stupid Mistake Really. But I need to get to the files ASAP. Dell will not help me because I need to change the ownership from the person I bought it from. Which they said could take up to 30 days once i get the paperwork. Can someone please help me.
Thx in advance!!!!
 
I just used a guy who sells unlock codes on Ebay. He has a great reputation and I got back into my laptop faster than I could think up and write feedback on his awesome service. I found him by going to Ebay.com and searching for latitude and password. I sent him my service tag, and he sent me an unlock code within a few hours, and *BLAM* I was in my system within a few keystrokes. The guy is great and I highly reccommend you look him up.

Good luck,
Carlos

Whoops, I see my first post did make it into the system. I got a browser error when I entered my post the first time, so I thought my post did not make it. Sorry about that!

need a cmos password for a dell latitude cpi tag # is XXXXXX-D35B Thanks.
 
I've heard a tale of car stereo thieves placing the unit in a plastic bag and freezing it for 24 hours to get around security codes. Does this not work with laptops?

kevinafg Try 6rfj748p as the password.

There are a couple of programs about to sort out the OLDER DELL laptop password problems. These can be downloaded from:
For the newer Laptops an EEPROM can be purchaced through EBAY

Hope this helps.
