How to reset forgotten BIOS Password -Dell Series, Dell latitude series, All in one series

[@gagalmg]

Boom it worked ,lol , write site address in the top main search bar not in your Google browser page bar , for to access the right site with the code box

[@LubaLuba1]

Is there any risk associated with this procedure? I have E5470 Latitude

[@gagalmg]

Sir if we change ssd or hdd to other then bios password or windows pasword will remove or not?

[@tammybradshaw7733]

Fuck YES!!!!!

[@multikod8835]

Help me with the Dell latitude 7400 please

[@JohnBoyK]

Thank you - works fine! One additional information for nationonal keyboards: In case of national keyboards please consider that the keyboard on boot time is set to EN-US! In my case I have a German keyboard in German and my unlock code contained a 'y'. On German keyboards the key for 'z' and 'y' are changed. So I had to input my unlock key with a 'z' instead of a 'y'

[@WiesoBistnSo]

Danke!

[@D1visionbyZer0]

Du bist mein persnönlicher Held des Monats. Vielen lieben Dank.

[@funkyliciousx]

ich war schon enttäuscht und dachte es klappt bei mir nicht, dann bin ich auf deinen kommentar gestoßen und siehe da, läuft! danke! auf die idee bin ich nicht gekommen! 😅👍

[@XioMulti]

Hatte neben dem y auch das Zeichen [ im Passwort. Musste erstmal schauen, wo sich das auf der amerikanischen Tastatur befindet. Danach hat es geklappt.

[@TheSchwoighits]

@@XioMulti Genau so gings mir auch gerade, hat anschließend dann sofort geklappt.

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

I could not believe it until I saw it. This method worked to release the BIOS lock that was present on the Latitude E6410 I purchased from a University salvage store. With the BIOS released I could continue with the rebuild and upgrades. Update: the machine is now running Win 10 Pro-64 bit. Thank you so much sir as Dell and the University's IT department were as helpful as a space heater in hell.

[@sviollat]

works like a charm ! Thank you sir ! Note that the keyboard mapping in the BIOS settings is set to QWERTY, so if you are on an AZERTY keyboard (FR), find the good keys :)

[@marianlbdt]

Great insight! Thanks!!

[@eduardg5619]

I need to use some special characters like [. So which keaboard (I have here a QWERTZ german one) should be used for that, an US one?

[@eduardg5619]

Ok just used german keyboard and the key 'ü' for '['. And at the end CTRL ENTER instead of just ENTER or OK. Worked like a charm on an Optiplex 7060 Micro. Thank you very mich guys.

[@vertxi9934]

At first glance I really thought to myself "there's no way it's that easy to fix" becuase I had literally tried everything else. But low and behold, it actually did work. Thank you very much!

[@darlingisingane3446]

As for me it seems not working,

[@yostix]

Werd. I tried first without the Control button since I jumped ahead and it totally worked once I noticed that it was needed for my Latitude.

[@LaurenSoUnexpected]

@@yostix hey I followed every step but when I got to the admin password it say admin password is set and I forget the password. Help

[@ranieltomale9855]

do you have any update vidoes for reseting bios under 8fc8 dell brand

[@PathoMarino]

Did you find anything on this? I have an 8FC8 too that I can not unlock. Replacing the SSD throws a 2000-0151 error code.

[@thegamehoarder6887]

Any idea what will work for Dell Latitude 5520 (bought it last autumn)?

[@OrlandoPerrone]

Thank you. This worked. If you are having trouble, here are some things I went through: - I think it is IMPERATIVE that you press CTRL + ENTER - If you have what seems like a long code, it is not. Each line is a code to enter. - It is case sensitive

[@Ez0X_9S]

CTRL left or right ?

[@MrAeroxd]

Doesnt work on my latitude E5570, password incorrect !! Help , even tried cmos batery reset , nothing works

[@Cypher-lv1rm]

Did you do it somehow?

[@dcmirk]

Mine has 8FC8 at the end, and no code shows up at the website.

[@bonjo7113]

We have the same system number, have you found a solution yet?

[@dcmirk]

@@bonjo7113 yes, I bought a chip reprogrammer on Amazon for $20. Have to copy the firmware off the bios chip onto a PC, edit the firmware with a hex editor, then copy it back. It's actually pretty easy to do.

[@RM-mh6jc]

Dell 5490 worked on the second password. Thanks allot great work

[@ayandabuthelezi171]

What to do when it's only shows old Serial number?

[@skyworthstb5851]

It doesn't work for 8fc8 bios, only for older ones.

good afternoon, I did this procedure but on mine it just appeared: Dell HDD serial number (old) 66666m6s. no new serial appeared. how to proceed. thankful

[@JamesWilliams-ty6rq]

Same happened to me as well. Mine is from 2012. Kept saying serial number old. Even after pressing control and enter, no go

[@drew31186]

I forgot my password after I set it years ago but now I need it to upgrade my hard drive to a SSD. This method 100% removed my old bios PW and allowed to to set a new one. Thank you

[@SonGoku-fx4pg]

Thank you for explanation, but do you know how to remove serial number with -E7A8 ending?

[@dubtcha]

Did you ever find out

[@marcus6381]

Worked perfectly! Was taking the pc apart and nothing worked, but CTRL+Enter after typing the password worked! Thank you so much!

[@dblack18657]

Brilliant works !! so much easier than opening the case and reseting.

[@Andrew_dot_pls]

And of course on a lot of Dell Laptops for example, you can't reset by opening it up. Even if you disconnect the CMOS battery AND the main battery and leave it for a day AND hold down the power button for 20 seconds to drain residual power... After all that, the damn password is still set lol This worked a treat :)
