D830 locked BIOS
Recently I purchased a Dell Latitude D830 motherboard as a replacement for the damaged one in my own system.
The seller didn't tell me that the system has a customized bios and a password, instead he announced it as 'password free'
The board is working and I can enter the BIOS but all settings are locked with a password.
As the seller refuses to take it back, I need some help to reset the system.
The first owner of the board is known and I have the service tag ready.
Is there any chance to reflash an original DELL BIOS and to reset the password(s)?
Thanks in advance,
Manfred

No, it won't -- you will need to contact Dell to have the password removed (which will cost you a support call).
