This laptop has been a thorn in my side for a LONG time. I got codes from another member here, and from a code generator (same codes) but neither will work.
If the original user set up a password, will Dell's backdoor still work?
Here is my info on the system:
Dell "Studio" 1735
7JZMDH1-595B

This is the original code I received -
4ez1csnt
Yes, I used external keyboard,, & also tried the ctrl + enter x2 combo.
This is the screen after 3rd attempt:

If the hard drive has a password set, throw it out and install a new one. Consider all data on it lost. There is no (easy) way to break HDD passwords. If the drive contained irreplaceable data and you need it back, prepare to spend about $1000-$1500 (or more) on a professional data recovery service - and even then there are no guarantees.

The code you used is the one that comes up in the standard Dell generator. If that doesn't work then your best bet is to open it up and find the BIOS chip(s). They will be 8 pin surface mount chips with a number like ST24C02. Usually near the coin battery. You have to find the chip and short the SCL pin to ground (Vss) while powering it on (you have to look up the chip's datasheet by its actual number to find out what pin does what). This resets the BIOS to default, removing the setup and boot passwords. Be aware though, this will NOT remove a HDD password. See my previous response to Erin regarding that.

cant you just clear CMOS ???

-- Boy that would be great if you could, but unfortunately with the laptop models that is not an option for us. (The CMOS is powered separately & can't be cleared like the desktop models by taking out the battery or changing jumper settings ) And it is VERY frustrating when the generated codes fail to let you slip through.

Interesting! Most of my work on laptops (before this one) had been either simple repair/replace jobs - desktops were more my area, and when I hit this brick wall I asked a colleague with more laptop experience if tweaking the chip would be an option & they pretty much told me not to waste my time going this route.
Guess they didn't know as much as I thought they did, LOL - THANK YOU!!
In regards to the HDD, I already have the replacement drive ready- I knew the HDD p/w's were an exercise in futility.
This poor guy has his heart set on having this monstrosity of a laptop running again- even after all this time. So, thanks to you, I guess maybe I can finally make his day!

For all intents and purposes, shorting the BIOS clock pin to ground is exactly what the CLR_CMOS jumper does..

Many laptops actually DO have a "jumper" of sorts.. basically an unlabeled (or non-descriptly labeled, such as Toshiba's B500) pair of adjacent pads that you short with a screwdriver or paperclip while powering on. And again, it's just shorting the clock pin to ground. However on most brands it's easier to just find the BIOS chip than to hunt down what the pad identifier is.

How do I throw it out and create a New one

Uhhh you remove the hard drive from the laptop and insert it into the nearest garbage can.. Then you buy a new hard drive and insert it into the laptop where the old one previously was...

Try BvC0LSIvNZj26x06
It is case sensitive, and they are both zeros, not O's.

Tried it. Incorrect password...

 

[taz420nj]

The 7th digit is an uppercase I (EYE), make sure thats what you're putting in.. As I said this is case sensitive so make sure your caps lock is off as well since you won't be able to see as your typing. Also try with an external USB keyboard.

 

[Ionescu Ioan]

I had forgotten about the Ctrl-Enter-Enter thing.... Works like a charm. A million thanks to you sir.

 

[taz420nj]

No problem!
