    Hello Senthil,

    I think I have the same problem that Amirala. I need to unlock my "admin password" or "setup password". I can access my BIOS but I cannot do nothing there, like activate the TPM security.

    By the way, my laptop is a Latitude E6430. Is there a way of Dell restore that password?


    Thanks.

    Call Dell, verify ownership. There is a charge for the call and service if you're out of warranty.

    Dell System prompts for a Hard Drive (HDD) or BIOS password

    You need to place a voice phone call to Dell support.  Be prepared with your ownership details (name, address, phone number) - they will verify that before assistance is offered.

    No.  It needs to be done by voice call.
