    I have a Dell Inspiron N4110 and I need the Bios password and my Service Tag Number is 85PTZP1. I would really appreciate any help because Dell wanted $129 to give me the Bios password.

    Did you try the regular DELL password?
    [no joke, it is "DELL" without the ""]

    Since this is a mobile device you probably don't have this option, so go on with the third way!
    Otherwise I read that there is the possibility to get rid of it via the Jumper on your Mainboard (look in the manual or just google "mainboard jumper").
    Just switch the plastic cap from pin 1 + 2 to 2 + 3 wait for a few moments (don't know if you have to boot or not, don't think so) and than switch it back to pin 1 + 2

    The last way to bypass that password would be by debug-commands but you should google that seriously and read yourself into it!

    Just delete password:
    debug
    o 70 2E
    o 71 FF
    Q

    or

    debug
    o 70 17
    o 71 FF
    Q

    to delete the whole config (at least it should be) :

    debug
    o 70 17
    o 71 00
    Q

    otherwise on AMI and Award BIOS this should work for your problem:

    debug
    o 70 17
    o 71 17
    Q

    and last but not least for Phoenix BIOS

    debug
    o 70 FF
    o 71 17
    Q

    Best regards,
    Goarden

    Good luck.
