If you have the original Dell install disc then boot from it and from the first options screen select Install Windows (NOT R). After pressing F8 when requested the SECOND options sceen appears. Select the REPAIR option if offered. Let this run and see if it repairs the problem

If that fails then try pressing F8 on boot until the boot option screen comes up and then select safe mode. Follow this though until you are given the option of using system restore instead of safe mode. take that option by clicking on the NO button. Restore the machine to a date some time a few days previous to the fault developing.

If that fails then put in any OS disc and boot from it. select R at the FIRST options screen, follow it through and then select the C drive option. Just hit enter when asked for admin password.

now type chkdsk /r (copy and paste this to be sure). let it run and then reboot and see what happens

NEED BIOS PASSWORD Dell latitude e6530 service tag BGS4H02-1D3B

Sean Scanlan,
You will need to contact Dell Support in order to get the bios password reset. Removing the battery will not resolve this issue. Once you call Dell they will verify system ownership and then proceed in generating a bios password.

Dell latitude d610 laptop

Collyod,
If you know the password you can start the computer and tap the f2 key to enter. The tab to the security screen to add/remove bios password. If you do not know the password you will need to contact Dell Support and have them reset the password. They will verify ownership of the computer and then provide resetting information.

Check your power settings as your system may have gone completely into sleep mode and even powered down the drive. It takes time for these to reappear.

[email protected] Please help me with bios password for my dell latitude E5500 Service tag: HHGMF4J-2A7B Please help... Thank you in advance

The BIOS-password exists for _your_ protection; if a thief is in possession of your computer, the password prevents the thief from using the stolen computer.

As the owner of the computer, find the original sales-receipt, to prove ownership, and telephone Dell, to get assistance from Dell to bypass that password.
