I dont have this type of device... should I buy it if I want to delete the bios pass? And where can I find it?
Thank you so much for helping me!

Is it better solution if I just change the BIOS chip and try to reinstall Windows?

When you enter the wrong password and press enter does it show any messages or does it just reboot

[g_georgiev1]

The BIOS doesn't give me any error codes... it just blocks the admin password function. That's why I think to change the BIOS chip, because changing the whole motherboard is too expensive...

Hello, I bought a laptop on a garage market but the seller didn't tell me that the laptop has a BIOS password. So my problem is that I'm looking for a solution and I don't know what to do because of 3 reasons.
1. Is it possible to rewrite the bios with CH341A?
2. If № 1 is not going to jail break the BIOS, should I try to change the BIOS with a clean one and is it going to be successfull?
3. If № 1 and № 2 are not possible what should I do, and is there any other option?
Thank you so much guys in advance!
If you need any other information, please just write to me!

I know... but I'm trying to get some advices for this question. I tried to find someone who knows how to unlock X15/17 R1 and did it before, because a lot of people are telling me that it's impossible to unlock it... I am sorry if I duplicate my previous topic...

1. Yes
2. No
3. I heard several times that Dell has some sort of master unlock password for these situations but I don´t know if that´s true and you´d have to contact Dell support for that.

So can I delete the admin password with CH341A with just rewrite the bios completly like a brand new?

[FZG]

Probably yes, as long as the password is stored in the main bios. There might also be cases where the password is stored in the Embedded Controller, in this case a CH341a will not help you.
