Title: Lost Vista Administrator Password
Post by: mwkeeler on November 26, 2010, 10:35:04 AM

I reformatted my Dell XPS laptop.  I never changed the default password.  I have no idea what the default password is.  Anyone have any idea what the default password is?  Cannot find anything on the Dell site.

haha ya ST I've seen a lot of these to. What are you referring to? are you talking about a BIOS password that was set up? or the password that is set up for the administrator account?

If it's the BIOS password then this may help...
