Dell E5530 BIOS password locked!

The password should work, if it doesn't it normally means a Motherboard replacement is needed.When you got the password was it emailed to you or did you note it down? As it's case sensitive and - I'm not sure if the agent told you this - when the password is entered in the field you need to hold CTRL and then press ENTER for it to take affect.If you haven't tried that, try it and let me know if it works. If it doesn't and you confirmed the password with the agent, then you will need a Motherboard replacement to fix this.There's 3 options available to you for a replacement:1. If the system is in warranty then you could get a replacement fitted by a Dell engineer (dependant on the warranty it may take place the next business day).2. If you are out of warranty then you could still get a replacement fitted by a Dell engineer, but you would...

Hi Vute,
Welcome to the Spiceworks Community!
I'm a Dell employee working on Spiceworks.
The BIOS will need to be unlocked using a password reset. The only way to get the password reset is to call in to Dell technical support. If you go to http://www.dell.com/support and click on "Contact Us", then "Technical Support" you will find the telephone number to dial for your country and they should be able to help get the password reset.
Hope this helps. Any other questions let me know

    Today I noticed that hotkeys Fn+ F8 (mic on/off) and F9/F10 (brightness) don't work. Few days ago I've updated BIOS and software to lastest by HP Softpaq Download Manager. I don't know if it's caused this problem, but it's possible.

    Use that code to go into the BIOS.
    Disable all passwords that are enabled.
    If asked for the CURRENT password uses that code.
    If asked for NEW password just hit enter.
    If asked to VERIFY password just hit enter.

  • HP 2740p BIOS password

    I recently bought an HP 2740p with a BIOS password locked that i cannot access, it came from a legit source and the guy just forgot the password, my question is does removing the RTC battery or CMOS battery resets the password? And I just to be make sure, is the Sophos Safeguard Logon the BIOS password? If the CMOS battery removal does not work is formatting the hard drive the easiest way or purchasing a recovery cd from hp?

    Hi:
    Let me just be clear on your issue:
    Is the password in the BIOS or is it the Windows logon password?
    If the password is in Windows and you can't access the operating system, then yes, you can reformat. There should be a recovery partition on the notebook, and you hit the F11 key at bootup and select the recovery option. It will erase everything on the hard drive and restore the notebook like the day it was shipped from the factory.
    If the password is in the BIOS, that will prevent you from making any changes to the system configuration. You will not be able to add any hardware (hard drive, memory, etc), or change the boot order or any other settings in the BIOS.
    Reformatting the hard drive or flashing the BIOS will do nothing to erase the BIOS password because the password is stored on a hardware memory chip soldered onto the motherboard, not on the hard drive like the Windows password is. You probably won't be able to flash the BIOS without providing the password, and even if you can, the password will still remain intact.
    HP technical support cannot help. They only way they can help is if the person who owned the notebook originally, submitted the BIOS password to HP for safe keeping via the HP Sparekey program, which is found on newer HP business notebooks from the last 2-3 years or so.
    The original owner has to contact HP to retrieve the password (if they registered it in the first place), and even then they will have to provide proof of ownership before HP will release the password.
    Unless the person who sold you the PC can remember the BIOS password (if it is the BIOS password), there is nothing you can do.

  • Password locked Portege Z30-A-10Z - BIOS needed.

    Anyone have a back up bios for a Portege Z30-A-10Z laptop.
    My laptop bios has locked me out with password and need to program a new bios chip with new bios.
    I cant prove ownership with Toshiba with original receipt so they wont help as I purchased it from ebay a wile back and the seller is no longer registered :(

    It is very stupid situation now. If your notebook is locked by BIOS password you have big problem now and nobody here can help you. BIOS password must be removed by authorized service provider.
    BIOS password is very important security feature so any problem with locked machine must be handled by ASP. There are several different methods for BIOS password removal and it has nothing to do with BIOS backup or some kind of new BIOS installation.

  • Bios password is lock....how to unlock it ???????

    i was provided with a laptop from university of delhi..but when i starting accessing it i found that its BIOS password was locked...pls tell me how to unlock that password,,plz...rply as soon as possible 

    Hi Chetan,
    You need to call HP and log a ticket.
    Along with this you need to provide the 32 character UUID (universal unique identifier)
    and the serial number of the unit.
    HP will give you file named SMC.BIN
    It requires special instructions to be run 
    You do not need to give ID proof - lol
    2- Invoice copy
    3- Authorization letter

  • Administrator Bios Password won't work on HP 4420s XT940UT#ABA Windows 7 64 Bit

    Someone please help me with this!!
    I bought this laptop from a friend (have a receipt) who sold it to me because the screen was cracked and all spidered out when you turned it on. Well everywhere he went to ask about getting the screen fixed it was very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said he would just get a newer laptop. So he sold me this one which is a HP4420s XT940UT#ABA Probook Model. About a week after I bought this Probook the friend who sold it to me died suddenly. This was sudden and terrible. Some time later I got around to buying the LCD screen for this model, replaced it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro edition 64 Bit. After installing all my software and using the laptop for quite some time now, I wanted to get into the Bios which I had never done. So when I started up the laptop, hit escape, then F10 to enter BIOS, there were two places to enter a password which is different then any Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees that I set up using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/Administrator. Well I can make most changes using the one I set up with my password however my password doesn't work nor can I get into some of the very important changes I wanted to make using the Bios/Administrator, like turning on the LoJack, figuring out the hard disk lock etc, turning on turbo boost, fan controls, etc. Well Since the person I bought it from is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to for the answer to this Administrator/BIOS password question / problem.  I tried taking out the Rtype battery and resetting it that way, didn't work. I called HP multiple times and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS I have already, wouldn't let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and put in BiosConfigureUtility.exe nothing happens, just tells me wrong command. When I try to get into the BIOS going through the C: file into the SSM files, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open and it just flashes a small command page way to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop figuring I have so much time and money invested into it now. Could the problem have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bit I guess it originally came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is Windows 7 Pro Ultimate 64 bit compatible so that's what I installed. I get mixed answers from a lot of different people on this and would like a answer from an HP person who has experience dealing with the BIOS in the Business models of Probooks if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since became a major fan of HP over Dell and Lenovo products.  I plan to buy two more probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, only better.  Thank you for reading this and hopefully someone can help. 
    Model: HP Probook 4420s
    Type: XT940UT#ABA

    BIOS Version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20

    once you log a support case with HP customer care, they will provide you once utility and steps to run it. which can capture the UUID. BTW- UUID is a unique ID for each machine (16 or more digits) stored in BIOS itself.
    Once the utility results(UUID and other info) in the log file, shared with HP. they can generate a key file(SMC) to reset.
    well, Technical support depertment can help you in it, no need to ask for any specific person or department.
    hope it helps.

  • Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue

    We have a Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue.
    We needed to turn on Bit locker in the Cisco Server VCS C220. To do this we needed to create an administrator password for the BIOS to turn on trusted Platform Module (TPM). After we set up the administrator password and turn on Security for TPM. We were prompted for the administrator password. It would not let us log in with the administrator password that we created for the BIOS. In the next few days we received a BIOS is corrupted screen (BIOS Flash Image Corrupted *****).We follow procedures to recover the BIOS with the USB stick with recovery .cap file in the root folder. We tried reseating the jumper pg. 35 of the Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server of the Installation and Service Guide.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/C220.pdf
    We were able to bring up the server, but we are still not able to get pass the Admin password issue. We tried to clear the CMOS header with Header J37 page 2-18 but we had no success with clearing out the password prompt. Figure 2-6 Service Header Locations shows the J41 BIOS RCVR boot and J37 Clear CMOS.
    Can anyone provide us documentation of where the pins are located on the motherboard to clear the BIOS password? We are looking for more of a detail picture of the pins please. The documentation is only showing a basic diagram of the header locations.

    You need to look at the CUCM logs for further info on what might have happened, and to make sure your servers are fit for the amount of users, devices, etc. you have in your environment.

  • Tecra A4: Bios passwords rejected: keyboard layout trouble?

    Before traveling I have decided to protect my professional laptop (Tecra A4) with both a Bios password and a harddrive password.
    I went into the Bios, entered the main password, went on page 2, enter the disk password, rebooted, got prompted for the password, type it... rejected. Tried 3 times and the laptop stoped.
    What is going on here? I *know* the password I typed, plus I typed it twice in the Bios screen, so I am *sure* of what I typed.
    Sooo I am suspected a keyboard layout issue, as I have an Azerty layout.
    Is it possible that when in the Bios admin the layout is one way and in the initial password screen, another way? I have used "a" and "m", letters that move between Qwerty and Azerty.
    Of course I have tried typing my password with "q" instead of "a" and ";" instead of "m", but to no avail.
    I am locked. This is driving me nuts.
    Any help welcome,

    Hi
    I have investigated a little bit on the Toshiba website and found this Toshiba document:

    Well, if you will not solve this issue you have to contact the Toshiba service.

  • How to push a BIOS password

    Hello,
    I've build a Task Sequence that includes a reboot and I wondered if it is possible to 'bypass' or include the BIOS password in any way in the Task Sequence so the computer does not get 'stuck' while rebooting.
    The (Dell) laptops in our company all have the same "Admin Password" and an individual "System Password". This System Password is set by the end-user himself.
    With Dell laptops (don't know about others), if you don't know the System Password, you can continue the boot sequence by entering the Admin Password. So only 1 password is actually needed..
    I looked into the
    Dell OpenManage Client Intrumentation (OMCI) 8.2 application and figured out how to erase the BIOS passwords with PowerShell with this command:
    (gwmi DCMI_BIOSService -Namespace root\dcim\sysman).SetBIOSAttributes($null,$null,"AdminPwd","","ourpassword",$null)
    Though I prefer NOT to erase the Admin and System Password of about 1000 users just to be able to continue an installation ;)
    Is there any other way to solve this problem?

    If these are Dell Enterprise computers, you can use the
    cctk.exe tool from the
    Dell Client Configuration Toolkit.
    Create an SCCM package from this tool, and you can use it in your Task Sequence:
    - Before reboot: Remove password. --> cctk.exe --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=<currentPassword>
    - After reboot: Set password. --> cctk --setuppwd=<password>
