Dell XPS L702X laptop needs master password

[cheapy]

My son was given the machine by a friend after one hinge got broken and the hard drive died. I can boot it to a linux rescue disk from USB but it would be much more useful if I could put a hard drive in it and boot from it instead.

It has an alph-numeric 7 character service tag - F5M3RS1

If I try to F2 into setup it says

Password/Unlock Key
Unlock Key Hint Number 31C76818

It allows entry of 8 characters in the Password/Unlock Key field

Will your master password generator work with that? If so, could you please point me to instructions how to calculate it.

Thanks :)

The main website serving this program is https://bios-pw.org/ Looks like 24454238 might be worth a try.

hi guys

@Kasijjuf how did you get the number 24454238 ? was it based on the service tag F5M3RS1 and the Unlock Key Hint Number 31C76818 provided by @cheapy ?

@cheapy did you get to unlock your machine?

thanks!
