The only way that you can get a Master Password is to contact Dell directly by phone.

 

Before they will give it to you, you will have to prove that you are the rightful owner of the notebook.

If you're going to open it up to replace the MB then why not just use the password reset jumper?

The D Series notebooks do not have a password reset jumper.  That is why.

The use of the password is there to discourage someone from stealing the notebook.

And if they do steal it, it prevents the theft of the information on the hard drive.

So, you bought a $450 laptop at a flea market from some stranger without even turning the laptop on to check if it works?  What if you had gotten just a shell filled with gravel?  The mind, it boggles!  :smileysurprised:
