    Dell OptiPlex BIOS Password Unlock Request - 8FC8 Suffix

    Hello everyone, I recently picked up a Dell OptiPlex desktop from Goodwill and it's locked down with an Admin Unlock prompt. I've already tried clearing the RTC/CMOS via a hard power drain, but the password persists in the EEPROM.

    Could someone kindly assist me with generating a master password unlock code?
    • Motherboard Model: CTR92
    • Service Tag / Suffix String: 4B2V2H4-8FC8

    Thank you so much for your time and help!

    post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..

    The bios chip must be unsoldered from the board before writing or reading..
    do not use the clip, you may have errors..if you do not have anything to unsolder it with,
    solder wires between the programmer and the bios chip..

    you need an SPI programmer

      [Bios Password Unlock Request] [Dell OPTIPLEX SFF PLUS 7020] [8FC8 method]
      by overclocker1786
      Hello I have a dell optiplex SFF plus 7020 with a password that I recovered from e-waste. It is possible to get the password removed via the bios patch method? I managed to dump the 32MB bios chips and would like help patching it to MFG mode so I can clear the password.

      Thanks.

      A schematic would also be amazing if anyone has one!...

      Attached are the original dump file, and the unlocked file from the Dell patcher that is available on this forum.

I wrote the unlocked file to the bios and when I turn on the PC it flashes orange 3 times, white 6 times which Dell says is the code for a corrupt...
