Dell Bios Password for Latitude D530

Please can anybody help me, I bought a Dell Latitude D530 from a Computer Fair last month,it was shown working running windows Xp, when I turned it on though the next day, a grey screen appeared asking me for a password. I have contacted Dell and they said I need a bios password and they will only give it me if I have the Original Owners name,address,email and contact number, I cant get these details so they will not supply me with the password. The service tag is #4Y9SH3J-595B, can anybody supply me with this as I hope I have'nt wasted £150. Many thanks in advance

 

Thanks for the Link shabbir, I've tried doing all of that, apparently what I need is someone that can generate the master codes for 595B Service Tags, I've heard there is software for doing this but cant find it anywhere on the internet, people have got them for free as some helpful people on the net supply the passwords but I'm struggling to find these helpful people.

 

These may be helpful.
Quoted from techspot (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic18780.html):
Christophe Grenier has written a program that will calculate the master BIOS password for Dell Latitudes from the Service Tag number. That program is available at

The above linked thead may actually be very helpful to you.

 

Thanks for the link to the software, unfortunaty that software will not eork on the service tags ending 595B, its the software that will calculate that service tag I require, I have searched the internet for the past 4 days and am pulling my hair out !

 

Good luck getting the cmos battery out... dell's laptops can be a real piece of work to take apart and put back together successfully. Shabbir's right, though... that's pretty much the one surefire way of doing it.

 

nice forum -shame i had to join this forum under these circumstances, no one should be helping this liar jamesmarsh- jamesmarsh1980 scammed me, he sold me the above mentioned d530 laptop & didnt send it, instead he made excuses about it being stolen from his car- then he made excuses about giving a refund (i paid via paypal) & he still hasnt refunded me- he says i will have to go through dispute- then he says he hasnt got enough money in his paypal- whats going on jamesmarsh1980??? you spent my money-your excuses/ lies are lame, give me my money.

 

thanks for your help shabbir- i just wanted to warn ppl about this guy. The transaction was on another place & i just happened to find his post on your site.
