bios

Clarifications

We absolutely do not provide help in any way, shape or form, for getting past passwords. Especially for BIOS passwords. If DELL won't help you, your only hope is to take it to a professional (local computer repair?) who MAY be able to get into it for you, provided you can show proof that it now belongs to you.

By the way, cleaning off the hard drive has nothing to do with the BIOS. You had to have manually TYPED a password IN the BIOS for that to happen. They don't just set themselves. If you can't remember what you typed, then paying the PRO's to fix it for you will be the price you have to pay for your mistake.

This is intended for informationaml purposes only. Never attempt this, especially on someone elses system without authorization. The information here is Highly Classified and I can get into real trouble if someone finds out who I really am.

The motherboard manufacturers (since 2002) have put in a 'Super Reset' method for making the MB 'like new' again. This was a 'secret Homeland Security' initiative so that the govt. could access anyones computer that they had physical access to.

Items you will need:
grounding wire
stun gun

Set the stun gun to max power. Attach the grounding wire to a good grounding source. Then tie the other end to the computer case.

Power up the system to the BIOS screen. hold the computer case tightly (metal frame), and zap the power supply with the stun gun. The MB needs a strong AC current to reset it properly.
The 'zap' should be at least 10 seconds long. Afterwards, the motherboard will be reset.

Most dead men have at least one of them.

Having been the original purchases of the 9100, your brother would be registered with Dell as the owner.

The death certificate will prove that he is now brown bread, and your Passport / Birth Certificate will prove you are his brother.

Just a thought.

Take it to a shop. They will be able to remove that password for you.

Merry Christmas!

These script kiddies and wannabe crackers are getting craftier by the day.

Shame on you for not helping this guy. You all are not listening. He knows we hear all kinds of excuses, but, but, but, but, this IS REAL!!!!!! I don't know why we wouldn't trust someone who clearly indicates his problem is real......unless of course, he's not telling the truth. ;)

and original, I'd never have thought of that!

the stun gun power output to really ensure that the BIOS password gets stripped off. :^0

Twice for me.....IDIOT.

and knew what was up. But, for no reason whatsoever, I clicked it again ad still realized what was up.

So, 2x for me, although I knew after the first time what it was going to do.

ok so u all got a laugh out of a serious problem for me, i was mistaken to think the geeks were a respectfull group, but the responses i got prove they are nothing but a bunch of air heads. u should be so lucky to get to be my age..yea i can laught at myself but not when i am seeking good advise..i took the old sea anchor and stripped it down and am putting in the trash as i can afford to buy anything i need for my grand children.

pass this onto your buddies have a good life a---holes

We have a policy here of not providing password cracking information because we see similar postings like yours on almost a weekly if not daily basis from people whose intentions are far from legitimate. We have no way of verifying if your story is true or some made up bullcrap in an attempt to invoke sympathy to convince us to help you. We've heard all sorts of silly and downright crazy stories as to why someone needs to crack password, from uncles passing away due to possible foul play to people trying to hack into their friend's or neighbors computers. We simply don't play that here and as professionals, we refuse to provide information that may and will be used for illegal purposes. The responses and attitude you got here is common to posters who ask for password cracking help, so don't feel it's just you. Anyone asking for password cracking help is asking to be a victim of flaming here, regardless of what excuse they have.

Even if you took it to a repair shop and asked for help, any professional who is worth a D@MN will demand proof of ownership before they'll touch it. If they don't, they're not a PRO. It's not just the technical people in this forum who refuse to help with passwords. Due to the high number of stollen machines, people wanting secrets from companies, hackers, crackers and identity theft, no professional in the world will help with a password problem without proof the machine is yours and that you have the right to enter it without knowing the password. And, that includes Microsoft. Call it Professional ethics. PRO's around the world have ganged up and agreed NOT to do it, period, no matter how sad the story sounds. It's no different than a USA Lawer who will not violate client/attourney privlege just because he got a call from someone in Mexico asking for information.

Wow, just wow. I am almost speechless by your rude behavior.

How DARE you say that to someone. Just because the rules for posting a thread doesn't agree with the one that Gary has posted, DOES NOT give you right to publicly make fun of him. What if his story really is true? How bad would you feel?

"Up yours...Dillweed." - Why would you say something like that? I just don't get some people.

And DON'T say I'm wrong, because you know I'm right. Rudeness is NOT an excuse for someone not understanding something.

Obviously, if he really is making this up, then shame on him. But I would NEVER say anything like that to ANYONE, no matter what the circumstances.

And yes, I know you all are just "trying to have clean posts", but again, you don't need to be so rude about it.

For that light 'abusive' post you got a MM hater.
Probably Gary with a new accoutn trying to act all innocent.

Wait till this dumba$$ reads mine :0
LOL :^0

With those comments and the language used, makes me wonder.

A very simple "We don't provide password cracks under any circumstances" would have been sufficient.

Kudos to ThumbsUp2 for a decent response.

Granted, there are some obviously illegitimate requests. Have all the "fun" you want with those.

you have your opinion, but in my opinion, Gary is fair game for attacking first.

If I sound 'childish' to you, that is fine. Doesnt bug me at all, because its your opinion, not mine.

I know that all you guys are trying to stop all of this stupid
excuses and stuff from happening!

I am only saying that all of you do NOT need to be so
rude about it. Maybe he just misunderstood something.

And if he is lying, then I would completely understand
you telling him not to do this. It's wrong to ask those kinds
of things. But you don't need to go telling him off.

I don't appreciate being told off for giving you the only reasonable answer there is to this question. Take the computer to a local shop. It should be reloaded as there is no need to retain anything on it.

While I agree that these guys go over the line with some of their answers, I don't appreciate your tone either. Not one person OWES you a thing. Anyone answering a question here is doing so on THEIR dime, not yours.

And hey- maybe you're right. If you don't get what you want the way you want it, play the a$$hole card. That ALWAYS works.

This isn't Burger King...

Is correct.

The language needs to end on these. The escalation level needs to end. The attacks need to end.

Guys- And I mean anyone who reads this- take a moment to consider something. TR needs the readership of this board. They survive because people click through. Anything that causes a reader to go elsewhere hurts TR. And what do you think will happen if TR is hurt enough? It will go away.

This was escalated beyond where it needed to go. And this was not the first time that has happened.

This is the holiday season when we tend to get the worst of the password questions. Let's agree to "give them a thumb" and call it a day. The toxic threads are getting too numerous. They need to stop.

Please.
