Not able to password reset it with a boot disc thing?

Not bad this OS has been installed almost a year on this laptop, last virus scan was fuck knows when. Only 7 issues, all of which being Javi 'exploits' which Antivir has removed. :D

Wipe hard drive. Job done.

Unless you mean a BIOS passwordy thing. That would be full of suck. But you could still reset the BIOS and go from there.

Ratt solo fucking nailed.

'Sup Warren DeMartini, how's it going brah? :wacko:

It's a BIOS password. There's a chip on the motherboard that contains the password, and it's figured by using the Dell service code and the code displayed on the screen telling you that you need a code. Some fancy magic is used, and a code is generated. Dell has to verify you are the owner of the computer before they will give you a code. One of the favorite posting on Dell's forum is that if you can't prove you own it (paperwork), you have a 'computerized doorstop". -_-

There's a process for shorting the security chip, but it involves complete disassembly and soldering wires on the pins of the chip. I'm not going into that much detail for a 12 year old laptop.

EDIT: There's also a program that will figure the password for you, but it won't work on x64 based OS's, and I'm not reinstalling Windows just to fix this piece of shit.

Cheers! I'm not much of a lead guy but this one isn't as fiddly to play as it sounds, thank God. :lol All nice familiar shapes. It was a bitch to transcribe though.

Good stuff. I really just want to be able to play jazz but I can't wrap my head around it. :( Should have paid more attention to theory!
