Dell E6430 admin password bios problems
Tried everything from bios-pw.org and no go. Its the pits when people cant remember admin bios passwords let alone use them in the first place.

It use to be you could clear the cmoa and youd be fine but its a pain the way they do it now.

You could still fix it, although it would require you to reload the BIOS via a physical flasher so that it would truly wipe EVERYTHING and set a from the factory bios image back on the machine.

I tried flashing from a USB stick and from within Windows and neither would work.

I've used them before. They're not bad to use, the hardest part is sometimes getting a dump of a good bios (need the FULL bios image dump).

Gave the laptop back to him as its useless in its present condition and simply didnt care to fuss any more with it.
