i have just got a very old sattellite 230cx and just made car adaptor for it as i had no supply and it comes up it comes up with bios password, i have no floppy and no cdrom so can i get round this or is it no good, does not boot to windows just black screen and password
help help please
There's a password dongle that unlocks the password. There's diagrams of it all over the web, or you can get one from Ebay for about £15.
Yeah a parallel loopback connection, they are a bitch to solder. Try Ebay dude.
cheers will try to make it if i can find the diagrams shouldn't be to hard i am used to soldering but does this have to stay in all the time or once u do it does it foget about the password
It bypasses the password so you can enter BIOS and set your own etc.
This is the one i used to use
You need a 25pin male adaptor and connect all the following
1-5-10
2-11
3-17
4-12
6-16
7-13
8-14
9-15
Then plug it into the pararell port and switch the laptop on and off.
It should be cleared then.
cheers i made the dongle and it worked a treat just one more thing how do i change reg user in windows system propeties.
sorry but i am a bit thick doing these sort of things
