Alienware m5750i

RevengE · Mar 3, 2009

Hello everyone I am fixing this laptop for a friend..and I am having some problems. it will not let me into the computer without a password, I don't know it and he forgot it which is the reason why I'm fixing it. Does anyone know how to get around this? Do I have to reset it using the jumpers? I can't get into bios or anything at all as soon as it starts it says enter password. Thanks for the help. All inputs are welcome.

try cmos battery if you can get the laptop apart without voiding warranty

Yeah It was bought in 2006 so I don know if it still has one.

Doubt he's concerned about warranty, its a m5750i(two years old if not older).

Whats the problem?

hmmm, try a bios password hacker, ive seen en, but have never downloaded one in fear of viruses

RevengE · Mar 3, 2009

Yeah I'm not going to get a virus on my computer for this crappy alienware..

Make a virtual machine to download stuff like that in. Or just use a good antivirus,

There's a way to reset the bios of a laptop without taking it apart, I just can't remember exactly how. I think you need to hold the power button for like ten seconds while it's off. :banghead:

I wish I remembered now.

Can you boot to a CD or a floppy w/o a password? There is a utility called killcmos that will delete the data in cmos, therefore removing the password. http://members.tripod.com/~deathboy_koasp/

Any ways, contact alienware. They should have a backdoor password. Just make sure your friend is registered to the unit.

there should be a reset pinhole somewhere one the puter... did you try that?

kiriakost · Mar 3, 2009

User cannot not reset passwords on laptops , yes there is a way , but it needs to go to the mother company , with the proof of purchase .

With out it .... forget it .
