I prefer to call her Tahwanda, but she also answers to flat headed lizzy. Read the last post, its actually three key files that do it.

that little program cost me a pretty penny, but I had 12 lappies locked up. latitiude.exe is not the only program you want..... the latitude.exe opens up the doors, but then its svctag.exe and Ee-cp.exe that do the work when the doors are open.

That service doesnt work all the time, I heard about them from people. It has very limited service tag numbers. I actually found a way around it.............you just reassign the service tag id with a dell program and it wipes out admin passwords. it does nothing for primary passwords, but...

I had a lappie with the admin password set........ so I just bought a program that wipes out all the bios and admin passwords....and now offering it to you. .It works on allthe following models: Latitude XPi series, Latitude C series inclucing CP, CPi, CPa.... Latitude LS, Inspiron 2000...

I bought a disk to clear out my dell bios and admin password..........now selling It works on allthe following models: Latitude XPi series, Latitude C series inclucing CP, CPi, CPa.... Latitude LS, Inspiron 2000, Inspiron 3700, Inspiron 3800, Inspiron 4000, Inspiron 8000. Paypal or money...

I have flashed the bios, pulled the cmos battery over night, and no luck. I had it totally apart and am thinking of pulling the eeprom chip and soldering in a new one and flashing it with the newest bios, but the chip is like $60 and I run the risk of ruining hte mobo if my heat gun...

ttt.........forgot to mention.......the failed .bomb that I got this from, sold it to a wholesaler who sells on eeeeeeebah bah bay

$180 plus two way postage is not an option...be easier to replace the mobo....well cheaper, not easier......serveral screws and take your time and your there, as long as the new mobo isnt burned in with password also. I have the same prob with several off lease lappies...dells and IBM's....you...

I have a laptop I got from a failed .bomb........got it cheap, it runs fine, but it has an admin password on it and I cant change any settings. Any advice? Can i just pull the cmos battery and start over? Its not on the HD, its embedded in the unit as far as I can tell................I pulled...

fdisk/mbr was the key.....thanks a million

I TRIED the dos install for the third time, It recomended that i not reinstall so i BOOTED TO floppy, dumped all partitions and drives..................then the reistall took place. I NOW HAVE a good HD b/c of all the suggestions.............you people are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could, but there is no cdrom. the computer is bare bones system, to be used for auto tuning, its just a pig thinkpad with Mono screen, but its all i need to tune a car and run simple programs if i can get it to dump LINUX. I am doing the dos install for the third time, It recomended...

I dont have the cdrom that the OS came from, in fact the laptop doesnt have a cdrom. I can boot off a floppy though. Will low level formatting the HD work. What is MBR?????? how do i do that?

Thanks for the reply. I fdisked it a second time and it only formats what is left over on the HD, which is like one MB. it reads the same thing. I will try the MBR suggestion as well and maybe try to lowlevel format. LEEDSPOINT IS THE BIRHTPLACE OF THE NEW JERSEY DEVIL....>:)

I am a complete idiot. By mistake, I ran fdisk using Dos6.2 with a boot from Floppy....thats not the problem...the problem is there was a fully running Redhat Linux OS on the HD already....taking up like 97% of the HD. Now on bootup it only comes up with the Ram count and two single letters...
