    Dell BIOS Password Hack

    From reviewing some of the Forum Threads here I see that quite a few members are having trouble removing passwords from the BIOS.

    I found a program, with instructions, written by a Russian Hacker some years ago. I haven't used the program myself as I haven't needed to use it. I kept the program for possible future use.

    It would appear that some individuals are selling the use of this program on places like eBay. It is highly likely it is the same hack program. The Russian hacker called himself "HPGL". He even supplied the source code for the program. I know NOTHING about compiling programs, however, others here may find a use for the code.

    This program should be used with extreme caution. From the feedback in the Word files, it appears that some individuals have had success with it. It saves having to purchase a new bios chip and soldering it on the motherboard.

    As you can see it's not my work, I simply found it by thorough searching with Google.

        [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
        by zenius
        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,...

        Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
        by mikeybass
        Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

        by jhanra
        Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

        in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, 😅😅😅...

        Dell Optiplex 7010 micro bad BIOS flash?
        by mrrubik
        Hi folks,

        I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
        After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)

        Steps I took:
        1. Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
        2. Patched
        ...
