If you don't know the password then the hard drive is useless. just install another one.

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.

You'll need to contact Dell and have them try to reset the password. They will ask you for the service tag and error code.

Hello,

Well the bios password can be cleared by removing the backup battery generally located under the keyboard. When doing this remove the primary battery and the power cable as well.

As for the hdd password I I believe only a fresh install of the OS can wipe that. The Code its giving you is the product code that you would need to use when you call dell. They may be able to help with the hdd password.

Thanks

Dustin

you'll need to contact Dell support for this one. they will be able to help you request a password that you can use to reset/clear the hard drive password. After it is reset, you may then set a new hard drive password if preferred. Be sure that you have the ownership information of the system in order to get help from Dell about this issue.
