    Alienware 17 R4 Bios/system password

    I replaced a keyboard for a friend's Alienware 17 R4 and now when i boot it up it's asking for a system password. I get three tries and it shuts down. Doesn't say anything about being disabled. We called dell and it's $200 for the password. I scoured the web and even tried some websites like bios-pw.org but no luck. They said to enter the HD's serial..but that didn't work. Anyhow, I saw a thread here where user evserv helped someone out of a simiilar situation. Hoping they or someone else can help me. My service tag is 4M43H2. EXPRESS SERVICE CODE: 10044274070. Thanks in advance.

        Just provide the correct service tag number, I will calculate your master password.

                "Explain you were not able to succeed with the methods at BIOS guides, methods, resources and tools"

                Shoot, I forgot. Sorry
                There wasn't anything for Alienware laptops in the password removal section and the Dell bit didn't help either, and I really can't afford the tools to desolder and dump my BIOS chip. Hopefully some day

                                Hi there, could I get the password for my Alienware 17R4.
                                Similar to the above user, I contacted Dell but its out of warranty.

                                      I have the same problem. Dell generated a code that didn't work, then said there is nothing else they could do. I've tried desoldering and flashing a bios, but wouldn't boot afterwards(beyond my limits). I reflashed my backup and it works again. I wrote a password cracker in powershell, but never got a hit. Not sure what else I can do.

                                          Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                          Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                          Hello,

                                          I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                                          But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                                          I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                                          I tried :

                                          -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...

                                          Alienware Aurora R15 accidentally flashed with XPS 8960 BIOS

                                          Hi,
                                          I've had an ssd that was previously used on dell xps 8960 and then it was installed in Alienware Aurora R15(intel version). On first windows boot in R15 windows started bios update and loaded bios for xps 8960(r15 and xps8960 essentially have same motherboards).

                                          Now it has xps 8960 bios that looks different from alienware bios and when I'm trying to run bios update files for R15, I get unsupported platform error.

                                          These models have AMI/Aptio BIOS.

                                          Tried to edit product info with DMI Edit to change values back to Alienware R15, but it does not want...

                                          HP Omen 15-dh0052nf power-on & bios password
                                          by Nopslide
                                          Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

                                          My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

                                          Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....
