How do I unlock a BIOS password on Dell Precision M4500?

How do I unlock a BIOS password on Dell Precision M4500?

I need to unlock a BIOS password on Dell Precision M4500 laptop. The model # on the bottom is PP30LA, the Service Tag is G7QNXN1-1F5A and the Express Service Code 35296567309. It will not even let you go to BIOS without the password, states that the computer system is locked and it will not allow access to anything without the password. I have been browsing and have seen some suggestions about a jumper that is used on some models to reset or remove this password but I have yet to find it. Can anyone help? Thank you for your time. Have a Good One! Love, Peace and Perception

Sorry, my experience with bios passwords are that I have never been able to bypass them on most laptops. I like the solution above with flashing the bios .

"i have an m4500 too.

dell provides password if you contact them.

but mine did not work.

the question is: can i force a phoenix bios to reflash itself at startup?

other notebooks like in one of the answers (e6400) have the option to write hdr file.. this one doesnt.

i managed to get hdr file (bios-mods website) but i still need a mehtod for flashing without password."
