Want Dell Latitude Password/Service-Tag Generator Program
mut...@hotmail.com
Army's outlet store.
I can not access any drives (CD, Hard-drive, floppy-drive) nor can I
access CMOS-Setup. I simply receive a Message: "" This computer system,
# 52WJP01-595B, is protected by a password authentication system. You
cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password.
Please type in the primary or administrator password and press <Enter>
""
I noticed that the website postings mentioned " latitude.exe "
(password generator file/program) which I tried but it is geared to
only receiving 5 (five) characters for the Service_Tag_# input to this
program-file. I also used "Latitude_MasterPW.exe" but that does not do
it either. Does anyone know the file-name and where I can download the
correct Dell Password-Generator to solve my problem that will work for
"my" Dell model (C600/C500) Latitude?
Any help would be appreciated. Dell only helps those who can ""prove""
ownership (prove they are the original purchaser)!
My Dell is a: Latitude C600/C500 modle PP01L
Computer system: # 5ZWJP01-595B
Service Tag #: 5ZWJP01
Express Service Code: 13054894417
Thanks in advance

Call Dell and explain it to them, they will ask for proof of ownership
and check if it was reported stolen. Only way to do it.

If you unplug the power cord and the batteries for 2-4 hours, the BIOS
forgets the password & you can put in your own.

than our lifetime.
The only way to get the password is to contact Dell. Prove your ownership
(which requires you to contact the original owner) and they will provide a
master password.
In this situation, you likely bought a doorstop, since you may have
difficulty proving proper ownership.
The purpose of this is to prevent people from stealing laptops and still
accessing them.
Ask the Salvation Army to contact the person that donated it to them and
have them do a change of ownership with Dell.

There is *always* a way. The question is whether or not you have the
time/patience to find it. I'm not familiar with your particular system, but
finding and pulling the cmos battery (and all other power sources) for an
hour or so will likely work. Sometimes there's pins to short on the
mainboard, but of course you need to know which ones to short or you could
fry the system.
Google is your best friend here, someone has done this before with your
system. Tom's suggestion about contacting the original owner is your easiest
way out, but I don't think the Salv Army is gonna do that for you. Plus,
what are the chances that the guy donated it because he forgot the password
and it was an old system anyway? If you can't contact him, then as I said
before, Google is your friend.
If it's a hard drive password your after than that's a software tool thing.
Try getting the drive manufactures tools and writing zeroes to the drive.

Sorry, Mike, but "the way" with Dell machines is to prove ownership to
Dell so they'll give you the backdoor password.

If it's a hard drive password the drive doesn't _exist_ until you've
done a successful password exchange with it.

worthless because *they* would not be able to do it either.
I never said nor meant to imply that the links I posted had the solution for
this system, they were only there as an example of some info that's out
there.
Nearly all security systems are eventually bypassed, which is what keeps
security folks in business (otherwise we'd all be using the same security
systems designed 5-10 years ago). With a system as old as his, it is a
virtual certainty that *someone* has posted how to do it *somewhere*. Now,
finding that post is another issue, which is what I meant by the
time/patience thing. It's probably not worth it for this old system, but if
you're buying a C500/600 from the Salvation Army, I'm guessing you have more
time than money. -- P.S. I don't in any way mean that as an insult to the
OP, just saying he'd probably prefer to spend time looking for a solution,
rather than buying another laptop.

BUT you might be able to get some help from Dell if you call them and
give them the model and service tag number. They could look up the
machine and see if it had been reported stolen or possibly give you the
owners number (not likely but they could). Or ask them to contact the
owner on your behalf.
Step 2. After talking to the PO you can then contact Dell and they will
transfer ownership to you once you provide proof that you actually own
the machine.
Step 3. Dell will then give you the master password for that machine
with that service tag. (no list of passwords since they are computer
generated at random when the machine is first built )
Step 4. Enter the correct password and have fun with the machine.
OR - Replace the motherboard with one off Ebay and hope that it doesn't
have a password in it as well.....
Tom, I prefer cash.....

Ebay, but as usual, any info that some as*hole thinks he can sell on Ebay is
also available free somewhere on the net. (I hate people who try to sell
information that's already on the net).
http://www.darkmagic.org/mike/dell-tag/dell/dell.html
This took all of ten minutes to find with Google and it does not require the
original owner or help from Dell. The C500 and C600 are listed as confirmed
to be fixable with this method. QUOTE: "The Chip is on the bottom side of
motherboard, under the PCMCIA card slots."
Just to be clear, Tom, in my first post I said that your suggestion was
best, and only recommended searching in the (likely) event that he couldn't
get in touch with the original owner.
Anyway, I prefer Paypal, let me know if you're a man of you word and I'll
shoot you the address to send the money to. (LOL)
Again, there is *always* a way. There are tools to bypass hard disk
passwords too, you just have to take the time to find the right one.

I *seriously* doubt you're gonna find a tool to break a hard drive password,

directions say the password feature can no longer be used after this is
done, so I get the feeling it may do some permanent damage to the chip
itself. Definitely a last resort operation.

Toshiba, Hitachi and Fujitsu drives, but since the lock mechanism is part of
the ATA standard, it should work with other ATA drives.
Note that in some cases (where maximum security was enabled) you may need to
erase your drive to get it working, but if you lost the password and are
just trying to get a working computer, than you security has done what you
asked and that should be OK with you.
There is, of course, lots more info to be searched for if this doesn't suit
your needs.

Ah, so maybe it's scrambling the data on the chip (or returned from
the power-up read of the chip) sufficiently that the CPU thinks the
chip is hosed and erases it. Then you need to give it a service tag
before you can apply passwords (a known Dell BIOS feature is to block
password protection of uninitialized boards).
Now the OP only has to find that chip on his board...
Mike
reply). Obviously shorting the connectors could screw up the data read on
boot, and it makes sense from an engineering point to wipe the chip and
enter a service mode in that case. Otherwise, if the data were to become
legitimately corrupted somehow, it would render the computer unusable.

Mostly lattitudes .... I was employed by a computer salvage company to
find a solution after they received laptops from the inland revenue who
had no records of passwords! After I had shorted the chip I couldn't
eneter a new password. I found this was because the service tag was
erased. Using svctag I re-entered the service tag and the password
facility was restored

"The laptop that was used in this demonstration is a Model 630 type PPX"
If that's not your exact model, the pics probably aren't the same. There is
a location of chips for several models given in the tables though. Also,
from reading the last pages of the site, I get the idea that this chip is so
commonly used, that there may be more than one of them in a given laptop.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Why not just call Dell? They'll happily help you once you prove legal

to get around, but I did find a way to erase the EEPROM so you can
access the board. I have instructions on a multitude of boards, along
with the location of the chip needed to erase. IT does involve
disassembling the laptop, some more than others. If anyone is
interested, send me an email and I will email the whole thing,
including a floppy and CD ISO so you can update assest codes if
needed. I did attach to this message.
