Has anyone successfully reset the CMOS Password on a Latitude CPx J650GT ????
Hi All,
Thanks for checking out my post.
I bought my Laptop from a friend a while ago.
It works fine, however recently I needed to change some CMOS settings and found the following:
The CMOS's Primary Password is Disabled.
The Admin Password is Enabled.
The Config Password is Disabled.
My friend can't remember his Admin Password.
So I'm stuck with a locked Setup unless I can reset or figure out the Admin Password.
I've read the various forums and a number of posts recommend using "killcmos.exe" utility, but then others have reported trashed their laptops in the process.
Is there anyone who's successfully managed to reset their passwords on a J650, either using killcmos, or any other technique?
Thanks in advance,
Echo.
