Try re-installing the video drivers.

I is my understanding that you can contact Dell with the service tag, and express code and get the master password to clear forgotten passwords.

SOURCE: I am trying to restore

It's usually Control & F11 (which works on my sons 10inch dell) but whether there is a restore partition may depend on your hard drive size. If you received install/recovery disks, you may have little choice but to get hold of an external CD Drive.

Hi,

Not all Dell code generators work on the the service tag ending 595B even though they state they will. Only Dell have the master password generator for that tag ending.

If you are the outright owner of the laptop and you can provide proof of purchase Dell will give you the code themselves for no fee.

If you are the owner then I suggest you give Dell customer services a call. Below is a link to Dells support website where you will get a phone number for them.

You should find it easy to use and Dell's customer service are very helpful.



Good luck.
