You need the laptop touchpad driver to detect the touchpad.<BR/><BR/>Also, Church, the way to get a BIOS password reset from Dell is hella annoying. An L2 has to use a program to generate a password you can use to reset the BIOS password.Pawkeshuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639407034382602864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-55451664507082586682008-11-14T02:13:00.000-08:002008-11-14T02:13:00.000-08:00Funny story, you've even inspired me to start my own blog<BR/><BR/>http://clandestine2008.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>keep up the good work mateHusbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566648221969101640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-70019025698867178532008-11-14T02:09:00.000-08:002008-11-14T02:09:00.000-08:00Nice Spaceballs reference, 12345 love that filmUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13486815115779133441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-75889722658235057482008-11-14T01:58:00.000-08:002008-11-14T01:58:00.000-08:00I tried to use "penis" as my password but it said password too short.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581507447791047997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-26707315721303435032008-11-14T01:57:00.000-08:002008-11-14T01:57:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581507447791047997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-11381775043666553212008-11-13T21:14:00.000-08:002008-11-13T21:14:00.000-08:00Jamming a butterknife under the CMOS battery won't work, just, ya know, info for the future. Laptop CMOS passwords are stored on non-volatile memory so that you can pull the battery (all of the batteries) and they remain. It's (according to manufacturers) for "security", also so they can charge you $60 / hr to give you the back door or break the hash.<BR/><BR/>Interesting story (as if any of you care), I run a small IT company, and subcontract for a larger IT/tel-com company. I had a client with a dell laptop who needed a wipe/clean install. This dell laptop had a bios password, which I was given. Seeing as how I didn't want to type the password in during the multiple reboots a wipe / reinstall required (I'm lazy sometimes) I went into bios and blanked out the password, assuming it would clear it.<BR/><BR/>On a dell laptop, blanking the password does not, in fact, clear the password. It makes it so that you cannot enter the bios menu without a password, which no longer exists. This was a wonderful surprise to me.<BR/><BR/>Dell informs me it's $60 / hr to talk to tier II tech support to clear it.<BR/><BR/>I now (no thanks to dell, and at no charge) have a small, useful program that you input the hash code after 3 failed bios login attempts, and it spits out the bios password.Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524881468079205015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-8101605344839711592008-11-13T20:16:00.000-08:002008-11-13T20:16:00.000-08:00Can't [GM]s feed other [GM]s to dragons?<BR/><BR/>And title reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins.
