Request: Dell Latitude 7424 Rugged Extreme

Hello friends,
I found myself at another dead-end, or with your help perhaps just a stumbling block.

I'm trying to figure out if the password is indeed stored in the BIOS dump file as it was last time I encountered a newer dell, which someone so kindly assisted me with and even pointed out where it was stored in the dump. What I didn't find out however was how they (Dell) chose to obfuscate the password so it isn't just cleartext sitting out for anyone to find given enough time and how to reverse the process. It seems like the dump from before is structured differently than the last one regardless so I don't think it would have helped in this case regardless.

Anyways if anyone can give it a look and see if they can assist me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

awesome, thanks that worked out. Looks like it put me in manufacturing mode and enabled a suffix for me to generate a password @ bios-pw.org using my service tag.

Not sure how exactly you did that but I would love to learn if you are willing to share your knowledge. Just comparing them in a hex editor didn't exactly show me much other than what was different, I'm still lacking the most critical parts, why there, and why those changes?

Regardless, thanks so much for the assist.
