I bought a used Dell Latitude E4310 that I want to replace Windows7 on
with Fedora-22. Unfortunately the BIOS is locked and I do not have the
admin password for it. A phone call to Dell was unproductive and none
of the passwords offered in an on-line application work. Does anyone
know what I can do to access this computer. I can return it, bought
through Newegg, but it looks good so far, in new condition and the
price is right. It even has a working battery.
I considered opening it and removing the bios battery which I assume
would return it to the default conditions which I believe is no
password set.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Bob
Also, since you already have win7, the installed
win7 is registered to your laptop.
You might want to dd the win7 partition to a usb
drive and save it.
You might even be able to sell it along with the activation
code on the sticker beneath the laptop.
