Hi,
the d600 has a 8 pins chip,like the c600 where the pasword/faxtory
setting is stored..
it's located under the tape where the pcicma socket is..close to edge of the board
it sais:UPW1
I think you can use the paperclip methode like the c600
wich means short two pins ( 3& 6) while you power the lap
Resetting

taken out of the box. Dell system includes a restore utility called 'Dell Symantec System Restore' to reset or restore your Dell system to factory setting.
Step 1:
Before reset any Dell Latitude laptop, backup your all important data
and programs, otherwise you may lose it. It is recommended to use an

Step 2: Remove any other unnecessary external drive and restart your Dell Latitude laptop.
Step 3: Press 'F8' key continue until 'Advanced Boot Options' wouldn't be appear.

Step 5: Now click 'Next' and login as the administrator account.

Step 7: Click the check box 'Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory condition' and click 'Next' to start Dell Latitude reset process...
This

Restart your system. As soon as the computer reboots and when you see the blue line on top of the screen with a label www.dell.com that the time that you have to hit ctrl+F11. Once Dell PC Restore appears click on the restore button.
Best of Luck
