            Hello guys. I bought a Latitude 5400 from a site. I turn it on and it says "this computer is protected by a password authentication system".
            Can you help me remove this password? Besides the model number, S/T, board model, which of the two flash chips should i remove and read to post here the content? There are 2 bios chips on the board. Thank you!

                Dell laptops store the password in EC. However, some generators exist depending on the code suffix.
                See: https://beta.bios-pw.org/ .If the website is offline try: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://bios-pw.org/
                Note: All passwords must be entered with a US QWERTY Keyboard,you can use a USB one.
                Note: The 6FF1 suffix has a bug,use your service tag with the 1F5A or BF97 suffix instead,Example: 1234ABC-BF97 .
                Note: The list of examples does not include some other suffix codes that do work,such as E7A8 .
                Note: If the BF97 suffix does not work try it with the E7A8 suffix instead.
                Note: There is no publicly available 8FC8 generator available at the moment.
                The CTRL-ENTER-ENTER keystroke after the password only applied to laptops with a suffix (xxxxxxx-8FC8 for example), until Dell also required it in some laptops using System Disable 16-Hex algorithm, on which only the Password+ENTER was needed at first and then in some models you needed the CTRL-ENTER-ENTER to properly delete the system passwords, otherwise the password would remain SET upon the automatic system reboot if just doing Password+ENTER until the proper CTRL-ENTER-ENTER keystroke was performed in certain models.

                              Hello,

                              I tried to remove the BIOS password on my Dell Latitude 5400 using the patcher.
                              Got a the bios dump with the programmer
                              And unlocked it with the patcher

                              But now whether I upload the initial dump or the unlocked dump, when I connect the power, the front led is white, the power button and the keyboard lights up for 1-2 seconds, the fan also starts for 1-2 seconds and it keeps repeating.
                              Please help.

                              Service Tag: J9XQ433
                              Board: LA-G891P

                              Thank you very much!

                                You copied the bios with errors.
                                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..
                                .here is a video for example..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWi...nnel=ThisIsHow

                                  I understand, but since I copied the original BIOS with errors, after I unsolder it, what BIOS I should write on it?
                                  Can you help me with a suggestion?

                                    I tried to remove the BIOS password on my Dell Latitude 5400 using the patcher.
                                    Got a the bios dump with the programmer
                                    And unlocked it with the patcher

                                    But now whether I upload the initial dump or the unlocked dump, when I connect the power, the front led is white, the power button and the keyboard lights up for 1-2 seconds, the fan also starts for 1-2 seconds and it keeps repeating.
                                    Please help.

                                      Hello,

                                      I wrote the BIOS on the chip using the WSON8 probe, verified it twice but still the same behavior.
                                      I don't have knowledge of soldering to try and unsolder it, but I suspect that I might have damaged the chip connections to the motherboard with the probe, hence I will try with a local service to have it checked.
                                      I'm attaching two pics of the BIOS chip for your opinion.


                                      Thank you very much for all the help.

                                          Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
                                          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.

                                          so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
                                          in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…...
