Your approved Email listI have had 2 people who have asked for my free files and software, and want me to apply for their approved Email list by filling out their forms, for the privilege of sending my files to them. Talk about Unmitigated gall and paranoia!! You will wait a long time before I cater to your whims; look for the stuff elsewhere because it will not be forthcoming from me. Premo animation software download windows 10. I am posting this in here, as your filter or whatever, will not take even a simple Email, let alone one with attachments. If you start your Dell Latitude and you can't get anywhere because a screen comes up saying enter Administrator Password than try this, LatitudeMasterPW.exe.

Here is the link You get on another computer and put in the Service tag # off your laptop than press enter and it will give you a master password that will allow you to access your laptop BIOS. It will not erase the admin password, but it will give you a master password that will let you into the BIOS and even Windows (if already loaded). It may not work for you but if you have spent half as much time as I have trying to get past this password it is definately worth a try. I am by no means a computer tech and I got past the Admin.

Password and I was able to change the Boot sequence to read from CD ROM first, then I put in Windows 2000 and installed it. Now everything works normal but I still have to put in the master password everytime I re-start my laptop. I spent many hours online trying to find a way to get past the Admin.

Password and none of them worked because you have to access the floppy or CD ROM first, but this one worked for me and it only took about 10 minutes with no soldering or replacing parts. I have a Dell Latidude C600. By the way if anyone knows how I can now change that Admin password, Please let me know. Sir Paragon, I tip My HatThanks for the Posts. After glazing thru, I found the MasterPW.exe and it worked perfectly (once i figured you needed to enter the support code in CAPS.) I entered it all in lower case and got a completely different key.My only hurdles now are reinstalling windows, and all that fun stuff, i'll have to figure out a way to externally mount a CD rom as the Latatude CP m233st doesn't have one installed (and i dont have an external, but i do have an internal spare and a USB external HD kit i can jimmy-rig). It has a floppy, and a USB.

There is not even an ethernet jack, i'll have to fish out the good ol' pcmcia card!!!The things we do for unsung glory!!!Thanks Again,JediKiah. Put your CDROM in the bay instead of the floppy. On any PC with a burner and running Roxio, you can make a Boot Disk Emulation of a W98 Boot disk that you will think made your CDROM into an A: Drive in DOS, has all the familiar DOS drive prep Tools, and when ready to Install W98SE, it will boot the CDROM-if you select Start your Computer with CDROM support-for another CD and then allow a hot swap to the W98SE CD to start your install. I still use floppy drives, but not for this purpose, and no external cables or coneections are required.When you entered your Service Tag into LatitudeMasterPW, EXACTLY what did you type in, what did you type in for the Prompt at the grey screen and what keys did you press to start the ball rolling? Answer to #1) The cdrom i have is for a desktop, not a laptop so i cant swap it. It didnt come with a cd player, or docking station, or a modem either!I do have a USB external HD enclosure i was gonna try to access the laptop by hooking up an internal full sized cd rom drive to the external HD enclosure. I tested this on a newer PC and it works.

Then connect that thru the USB port on the back of the laptop. I found a few usbcd for DOS apps out there, but none of them are working. I cant get the usbcd DOS boot disks to work. I've tried editing the original bootdisk that came with the laptop to encorporate the usbcd access into what was working, also with no luck.Answer to #2) In MasterPW I typed the 5 digit Service Tag from the back of my laptop. The problem there was the first time I had entered it in lower case and it generated one #.

I would enter in that result, and it would fail.Thinking i had the wrong service tag sticker, i entered in the other sequences on alpha-numeric clusters i could find on the back. It wasn't long befort I discovered you cannot use more than 5 letters/numbers, and no characters either. Then it hit me, DUH, try using CAPS to enter the service tag, and The first attempt using CAPS worked fine.(that part was ALL user error!!!:unch: )Once i can access the HD to reimage, i have win98 to put on, i'll need to find all the drivers for it.Thanks again for your posts, they have made the learning curve for this task a lot easier, and FUN!!!Regards,JediKiah. The USB 2.0 External Floppies will only work with the later models after the C series Latitudes and contemporary Inspirons. USB 1.1 does not support DOS Booting.

You need to get a Dell CDROM for the Modular Bay; any C-series Modular Bay CDROM will work. You can make a Bootable CDR Emulation of a W98 Boot Disk on a PC with a 'burner' and Roxio EZ CD Creator. It will give you all the DOS Tools for Drive prep, then boot the CDROM and allow a hot swap in DOS for the W98 CD. It eliminates the need for a floppy for W98 installation; you will probably still need one for driver and utility Installations.

Dell support did it for meHello everyone,I'm new here and had the same problem with a Dell Latitude D610 (our boss').The main problem was that it was lost for more than a week, and then was found back again and brought back to us by two honest people (yes, such people still exist!).However, we got to ask Dell support for both the admin password AND the disk password - which, after two days harrassing them, they actually DID. The admin pass the first day, the HDD pass the second day.

So now, the computer is indeed unlocked. Entering the BIOS after having those passwords, I now see there's no admin password, however I had to set the disk password to blank.There were no such password prompts before the loss, and the computer has not been tampered with (the data is still intact on it). Would this be due to the total battery discharge, which would have triggered the CMOS to set those passwords back or something?Also noteworthy, the HD is a Toshiba on this laptop. As I have another laptop (an HP) here, I swapped disks: the Dell could boot on the disk (an IBM), but the HP couldn't boot on the Toshiba. I tried and booted the HP with a Knoppix CD, which couldn't read the disk at all: even reading the partition table triggered an I/O error.

I think I hate the so-called 'ATA security feature'.All the more that there is (was?) a HUGE BUG with HDD passwords and Dell BIOSes: when setting the HDD password, Dell BIOSes let you enter characters such as , , (, ),: and others which are ILLEGAL wrt that ATA security spec! There ares 2 ways round this, if your lucky enough to have the right service tag you can use the master password generator to generate the master password with this you can to disable the config setting and change the boot order, your service tag must end in D35 if it ends in 595B this software wont work, from what I have read when using the software you must enter the tag exactly as it appears on the machine, case is sensitive.If the software doesn't work then you will have to download Paragons tools and create a bootable Floppy/CDrom to reset the service tag,Good luck and let us know.
