Primary hard drive is locked password authentication system

H, I have a customer with a Dell XPS 17" laptop, with a password locked hard drive.  I can give you the Service Tag and all pertinent info on the customer.  Please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am having similar issue to the user you answered, I tried following the link you provided the other user but it no longer exists. Is there an alternate link please?

Thanks.

Thank you for your message. Is the system asking for a hard drive password or the BIOS password? I can try to assist with this once the account has been verified.

 

For my reference, please click on the message tab next to your avatar– click “New Message” & search for my Dell username (Sreejith R) & send a private message with the service tag, registered name & email address.

        

How to locate the service tag
