Question T5860 - OLD GUY

[TechofManyYears]

SEEN WAY TO MUCH ACTION - Hard to Type & Harder to Find Solutions - just like same BS where Big Corps all Pushed Out - Zero
Support for Apple Iphones - No Driver & No Software to allow Hot Spot - forcing everyone to have have Dedicated Internet Line .
$65 for seniors .. Haaa . . 15yrs back . .
All about Money, sorry but Out in Country , miles from no where it's all we had for over 10 yrs .. even thou AT&T Promised to Rewire America . . to Provide where there were no service .. never happened . Waited , Waited & Stalled & Stalled even had to make statements in front of congress .. after taking Mega Deal & raking in Millions from Government .. = No Hard Lines . .

12years later came slow wireless ..

Now big corp are at it again . with Oh You have CMOS , but later Actually look & see - not there ? Where is Physical CMOS Clearing Pins ? ( Missing in Action ) ?

I Think Not , this was a Silent Planned take over to Force - Life Time Support .. onto Joe Public . .

Our systems should not be Locked or have Custom Keys or Tracking or any Other BS - Installed into Device You paid Money for in Full & are not a Tenant or Rental ! ( Out Right Bought ) .. Enterprising Corps are secretly setting everyone up for a shot in Your Wallet or is there something more Sinister Going On - seeing these Mother broads came in from Twain . .

Is there a question buried in there?

This appears to be a case of purchasing a Dell Precision T5860, via eBay, that was likely used in a corporate environment. Dell Support, as previously provided, is the only way to reset the BIOS/CMOS to remove the previously mentioned passwords.

If the device is not under warranty or some other support/service plan, then Dell will charge for assistance.

Last, let this serve as a warning to others who purchase such systems. Make sure you verify with the sellers, before you buy them, that the BIOS/CMOS has been reset/cleared.
