Hi,
I've just tried software from:
This tool found my BIOS version, Computername, Date & Time. Unfortunately after that I've got a mesage:
<ERROR msg="Failed to change the Setup Password. This may not be a supported platform or the new pasword is too long for this platform."/>
<Warning msg="BCU return value" real="10" translated="10" />
Of course I tried with short (4letters) password ;-(
Any idea? What shall I do?
thx in advance

Hi,
I have a 8510p laptop that I let a friend borrow and it came back with a bios password lock. I am sure it was some prank gone wild.
My serial number is:
