I also was able to avoid cutting the bottom casing by taking a thin piece of wire (like a stripped trash tie) and shorting the pins that way. Also just needed to plug the power supply in for a few seconds (as the only power source), did not even try to turn on the laptop (quite a handful to). The next boot it went into factory mode as stated above. Thanks alot!!! CHEERS! This worked like a charm!

I didn't cut the casing tho. I removed the battery from its place just so that i can see the pins and a little help from my daughter, she was the one who turn the laptop on while i connected both pins and it worked. thanks again and God bless thanks so much sir, i was able to disable the bios from your tutorial.

Once the bottom is removed you can use a horseshoe shaped piece of wire to hit both pins without cutting the metal. Worked like a charm. Thanks! Thanks, Great info!

Worked on the second try. I tried to get Dell support, even paid. Call center in India was no help at all. This kept the laptop from the trash. No I have to deal with the HDD password but much less painful than the BIOS. Thanks again!! Thanks for this! Worked on the second try. I tried to get Dell support, even paid.
