Dell Data Protection : Device is locked. Contact your administrator

Hello,

Before write this post, I have already contact my local Dell Pro support. they seemed to never understand about the problem ...


My user forgot the credentials, and enter a lot of wrongs passwords, and the screen only shows "The device is locked, contact your administrator" and with no options, what so ever.

I found this topic : <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

But I need the Windows Recovery Kit.

Someone can help me ?

Thanks

Yoann

Hi Yoann,

We have pre-created ISOs that i can share through DM. we are working through getting these available online. we have a new recovery guide here:

downloads.dell.com/.../dell-data-protection-encryption_administrator guide8_en-us.pdf

i'll work on updating that KB article currently :)

Hey AceUnderFire,

Updated documentation can be found at the below link.  The document you'll want to review is named "Dell Data Security Recovery Guide v8.17.2/v1.7.2/v1.5"
