AFTER ALL OF THE SEARCHING I DONE TO FIND OUT HOW TO RESOLVE MY BIOS PASSWORD ISSUE I FINALY RAN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO. THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE DEAD ON AND ON POINT CLEARED OLD PSSWRD OUT. THANK YOU TO THE UPLOADER. ITS THE SAME PROCEDURE FOR THE OPTIPLEX 790 WICH I HAPPEN TO OWN.
Thank you! I was about to try this on an Optiplex 960, but I always double check tutorials for different configurations, etc. I like the style of this video, haha.
Wow that's Great and Thanks a lot Dear Sir.. you have solve my problem.... God Bless you.. Best Wishes for you... Love you so much.. and Thankful to you...
Not quite where mine was but it did help. on mine the jumpers were not really by where it said remove password on the board. Pins are right below the CPU fan. Went easy once located.
I removed the jumper on optiplex 790 series, restarted but indicated JUMPER REMOVED TO BYPASS PASSWORD BUT PASSWORD CANNOT BE CHANGED. What else should i do?
Thanks for the info. The Dell web page is kind of clucky on this procedure. Just a side note, if you reset ALL of the BIOS by removing the battery or loading defaults and not just the password as shown the computer likely will not boot with the DEFAULT settings in SATA OPERATIONS. In the vintage shown the desired normal setting is LEGACY I believe, in the older Dell BIOS it is something other than RAID I think.
Thank you my friend for this information I got this computer from an auction Dell Optiplex 990 did not know the bios passord was set to disable the DVD drive could not install the operating system I have workied on computers since the days of commodore 64 Windows 95 98 up till windows 10 I even worked at dell computers but still did not know that. Thank YOU I have my own home based business let me know if I can help you with anything. YOU MAKE THIS COUNTRY WORTH LIVING IN
Hello, i'm interested in a used Dell Optiplex 9010 Desktop Tower - Intel Core i7 - 3770 @ 3.40GHz - 8GB - No HDD and it has a bios password so I am wondering, will this work on that? do all dell desktop motherboards have that blue thing?
Any idea why my mouse wouldn't work with the BIOS on Optiplex 760 with BIOS A15?? mouse works fine any other time, but it won't work within BIOS. The keyboard works fine as far as scrolling through the BIOS menu, but I am unable to make any changes to it. I removed the PSWD jumper so there is no password issue
Boa tarde como posso entrar na BIOS do Nootbook da Dell E5400 eu estava conseguindo entrar agora não consigo mais aparece um tela branca com uns código lá não sei o que eu fiz na BIOS que não entra mais
Hi,Ordinternet. The Optiplex3010 is BLACK jumper(with "PSWDCLR1" letter) Short "1-2" and power on. After confirming the alert display, turn off the power and return the jumper to "2-3".
