m17 R2, need help recovering the BIOS Administrator password
Dear Dell Support,
I need help recovering the BIOS Administrator password on my 2019 Dell Alienware m17 R2 laptop. I have forgotten the password and need a password release code.
Product Details:
- Model: Alienware m17 R2
- Current BIOS: 1.25.0
What I have tried:
- Entered the BIOS (F2) and attempted to clear the Admin Password directly.
- Tried several likely passwords. After 3 failed attempts, the screen shows
the "System Disabled" message, but no numeric code is displayed on screen.
- I have NOT flashed the BIOS or modified any firmware.
I confirm that I am the sole owner of this system and I can provide proof of purchase if required. Please provide me with the password release code so I can regain access to the BIOS. What is the best way for me to proceed and
what documents do you need from me?

Hi
The usual things are Proof of Ownership and to pay any relevant charge.
Try the Blue GET HELP NOW button in the lower RH corner.
