Guest Paul Hemming Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Can you tell me the latest A11 bios for the Dell latitude D505. When I try to update from Dell, The program tells me that I am trying to update to an older Bios. I need to update as I have a password protected bios and have no password. ( Second Hand) Thanks Paul Hemming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Second Hand)Thanks Paul Hemming I just got a dell disc which clears the BIOS password... it deletes the service tag, then all you do is re-enter the tag again, and its all sorted! my 2nd hand m1710 motherboard had a locked bios. Just found the dell disk online earlier. Was very useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Was very useful! Very useful for laptop-nappers, I would think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliveanddead86 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well, yes :) but as i got my motherboard from ebay (was BIOS locked) then its quite useful, especially as I bought it at a reduced price because of it... However, it does NOT unlock the hard drive password... (AKA the grey screen of death) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found the dell disk online earlier. Was very useful! How dis you run this software? My inspiron 1501 goes almost imediate to HDD Password screen. No chance to get into the bios, no boot from CD.

aliveanddead86 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 It only sorted out the BIOS passwords, not the grey HDD password screen. From my knowledge and trawling of the net, there isn't a way around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
