Want Dell Latitude Password/Service-Tag Generator Program
Have purchased a Dell Latitude C600/C500 model PP01L at the Salvation
Army's outlet store. I can not access any drives (CD, Hard-drive, floppy-drive) nor can I access CMOS-Setup. I simply receive a Message: "" This computer system, # 52WJP01-595B, is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password. Please type in the primary or administrator password and press Enter "" I noticed that the website postings mentioned " latitude.exe " (password generator file/program) which I tried but it is geared to only receiving 5 (five) characters for the Service_Tag_# input to this program-file. I also used "Latitude_MasterPW.exe" but that does not do it either. Does anyone know the file-name and where I can download the correct Dell Password-Generator to solve my problem that will work for "my" Dell model (C600/C500) Latitude? Any help would be appreciated. Dell only helps those who can ""prove"" ownership (prove they are the original purchaser)! My Dell is a: Latitude C600/C500 modle PP01L Computer system: # 5ZWJP01-595B Service Tag #: 5ZWJP01 Express Service Code: 13054894417 Thanks in advance

I think you may be screwed.... The only way to get around this is to call
Dell and try to prove ownership. You may end =up returning it to the SA... -- Regards, Hank Arnold wrote in message oups.com...

There is *always* a way. The question is whether or not you have the time/patience to find it. I'm not familiar with your particular system, but finding and pulling the cmos battery (and all other power sources) for an hour or so will likely work. Sometimes there's pins to short on the mainboard, but of course you need to know which ones to short or you could fry the system. Google is your best friend here, someone has done this before with your system. Tom's suggestion about contacting the original owner is your easiest way out, but I don't think the Salv Army is gonna do that for you. Plus, what are the chances that the guy donated it because he forgot the password and it was an old system anyway? If you can't contact him, then as I said before, Google is your friend. If it's a hard drive password your after than that's a software tool thing. Try getting the drive manufactures tools and writing zeroes to the drive. -Mike "Tom Scales" wrote in message . .. No, it doesn't. The password is in EEPROM and will be remembered for longer than our lifetime. The only way to get the password is to contact Dell. Prove your ownership (which requires you to contact the original owner) and they will provide a master password. In this situation, you likely bought a doorstop, since you may have difficulty proving proper ownership. The purpose of this is to prevent people from stealing laptops and still accessing them. Ask the Salvation Army to contact the person that donated it to them and have them do a change of ownership with Dell. Tom "GaryD45" wrote in message ... If you unplug the power cord and the batteries for 2-4 hours, the BIOS forgets the password & you can put in your own.

Unfortunately, having worked with Dells for a long-time, the only one on
that list that will work is the master password from Dell. "Mike" wrote in message . .. http://labmice.techtarget.com/articles/BIOS_hack.htm There is *always* a way.

If it's a hard drive password your after than that's a software tool thing. Try getting the drive manufactures tools and writing zeroes to the drive. If it's a hard drive password the drive doesn't _exist_ until you've done a successful password exchange with it.
