Hi,
Well I have read your suggestion that I should fill out an ownership form but cannot seem to get anywhere, or even find it
I am in the position you mention in your posting, I bought online a passworded ex-corporation Dell Cpi A400xt. but have been going around in circles on the dell site...
Although my XPI's are early laptops, I got the following reply on a NG I posted on, so if an early laptop BIOS password is flashed into the EEprom, as someone on an earlier post on this foram/topic suggested, then any later ones are as well.
:-( :-(
> The password on a Dell XPI is stored in...
Hi Goldfinger,
I don't if that was for me (XPI) or the previous post (CPI)
But I am away at the moment and will be back in 10 days time.
I will have a look at the tag No (don't remember that coming up though)
But if there are tag No's I will e-mail them
Regards
Ray
So battery removal does not work with a CPI. It does seem that in all the suggestions & answers here, that no one has actually been sucessful at removing a DEll password, are Dells that special? (I have a device for Toshiba's that plugs into the parallel port & removes the password)
And before...
Yes It does seem that there is a way, as I have seen in the past that someone had the software (wish I had made a note)
Another way suposedly is to disconect the COSMOS Battery for a short while, but I don't know how to get into an XPI, and just pulling things apart can cause damage etc, on...
Seen all the posts on here regarding lost Passwords, none mention a Dell XPI p133. I have 3 ex-corporation ones that i am playing with but are password locked, any way around this....
Regards
