Inspiron 1564, BIOS user password
I acquired a 2010 Dell Inspiron 1564. I have attempted a few times to update the bios fro A08 to A13. After the update is said successful but still not showing A13 still showing A08. I have been into bios and it user password is locked need help unlocking this. If anyone knows how to get around this would be grateful

Thanks @nyc10036
Just removed it for now.
I did not see anything in the rules pertaining to it but I am asking the Mods and Admin for a judgment.
The only thing I see is this???
"Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise work around digital rights management software or hardware."
I will go by what they say???

I am a bit confused by the question.
If you have a BIOS that is locked with a password that you do not know, updating the BIOS isn't possible.

Isn't that against Dell forum rules?

Regarding the BIOS password bypass.
I have always seen posts by the Dell employees that whoever had the problem needed to contact Dell. And Dell charges for this unlock service.
