laptop trouble

As a security measure, many laptops limit access to the BIOS password.

Your best option is to take the laptop to a Dell authorized service center with proof that you aquired the laptop leagally.

They should then reset the password for you.

Defeating the password on most DELL laptops is easy. The systems have a default password that will override any other. But as you learned if you can't show legal proof of purchase then they'll not help you. I'm sure you understand why. This questionis asked in so many different ways about once a week. The good thing about this forum is most people will not give out this kind of info. The password is a last defense for someone that has had there system stolen.

Note of Caution: Some of thesystem boards will be ruined by trying to defeat the password so be carefull who's advice you follow.

depending on the service tag there are some models tat have a master password which isnt hard to find the info on the web. the others that are not covered by the master password you can replace the eprom. also you can contact customer service at dell and transfer ownership and do it the easy way after its transferred they can give you a master or send it in to depot for repair.
