Want Dell Latitude Password/Service-Tag Generator Program
If there wasn't *a way* to do it then proving ownership to Dell would be
worthless because *they* would not be able to do it either. I never said nor meant to imply that the links I posted had the solution for this system, they were only there as an example of some info that's out there. Nearly all security systems are eventually bypassed, which is what keeps security folks in business (otherwise we'd all be using the same security systems designed 5-10 years ago). With a system as old as his, it is a virtual certainty that *someone* has posted how to do it *somewhere*. Now, finding that post is another issue, which is what I meant by the time/patience thing. It's probably not worth it for this old system, but if you're buying a C500/600 from the Salvation Army, I'm guessing you have more time than money. -- P.S. I don't in any way mean that as an insult to the OP, just saying he'd probably prefer to spend time looking for a solution, rather than buying another laptop. -Mike "Fixer" wrote in message ... ******** if your gonna post in here make sure your info is correct, the password is stored in the E-eprom and the AC/DC power has no effect on it "GaryD45" wrote in message ...

Then find the RIGHT answer and post it, not just 'could be' answers.

Step 1. Contact the previous owner of the machine. This can be difficult
BUT you might be able to get some help from Dell if you call them and give them the model and service tag number. They could look up the machine and see if it had been reported stolen or possibly give you the owners number (not likely but they could). Or ask them to contact the owner on your behalf. Step 2. After talking to the PO you can then contact Dell and they will transfer ownership to you once you provide proof that you actually own the machine. Step 3. Dell will then give you the master password for that machine with that service tag. (no list of passwords since they are computer generated at random when the machine is first built ) Step 4. Enter the correct password and have fun with the machine. OR - Replace the motherboard with one off Ebay and hope that it doesn't have a password in it as well.....

So, here's the appropriate info. It's also for sale for about $12.00 on
Ebay, but as usual, any info that some as*hole thinks he can sell on Ebay is also available free somewhere on the net. (I hate people who try to sell information that's already on the net). http://www.darkmagic.org/mike/dell-tag/dell/dell.html This took all of ten minutes to find with Google and it does not require the original owner or help from Dell. The C500 and C600 are listed as confirmed to be fixable with this method. QUOTE: "The Chip is on the bottom side of motherboard, under the PCMCIA card slots." Just to be clear, Tom, in my first post I said that your suggestion was best, and only recommended searching in the (likely) event that he couldn't get in touch with the original owner. Anyway, I prefer Paypal, let me know if you're a man of you word and I'll shoot you the address to send the money to. (LOL) Again, there is *always* a way. There are tools to bypass hard disk passwords too, you just have to take the time to find the right one. -Mike (Link below) http://www.darkmagic.org/mike/dell-tag/dell/dell.html "Steve W." wrote in message ...
