hi,
the dells are really hard to get into. I tried everything i could think of to kill the cmos. dead easy on any toshiba laptop, ive even asked dell engineers and they said that with a forgotten password they usually replace the complete motherboard.

If its the password you want to clear, its not in the cmos its in a eprom under the processor! which has to be removed, flashed or replaced then reinstalled, there is a password generator on the net (i've been after this for months!!!) it's called 'latitude.exe'a.k.a 'latitude_masterpw.exe'<br />if anyone has a copy of this program please e-mail it to me !!! [email protected] Thanx in advance!!

It will calculate the master BIOS password for Dell Latitudes from the Service Tag number. Just rename it from .doc to .exe again.

Thanks Dave. I already tried the above dongle and it works fine.

What do those 2 files do anyway out of curiousity and how are you supposed to run them.
The lappy has no floppy on it and it dont appear to want to boot from cdrom.
