  • This video covers admin password removal for an OptiPlex 3080. I have no idea if it'll work for an unrelated system, but theoretically it should assuming you have a Dell with a similar 8FC8 BIOS. This is the result of lots of searching on the internet and piecing various bits together, because there's no one-stop shop for this and most posts seem like they're trying to protect their revenue stream and get you to buy their service vs. giving useful information and/or tons of forum posts where people are like "unlock my bios for free please do it for me."
    Yes I know the computer screen's not super clear. To restate the intro: this isn't a tutorial so much as a springboard for you to figure out how to do it yourself. I give you pretty much all the info you'll need. Which leads to the disclaimer: WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY FROM REPEATING ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO. Go away.
    Thanks to badcaps.net's forums for some general ideas. You can find most of the information I used by searching "source:badcaps.net 8FC8" in your favorite search engine. A lot of it is redundant so I couldn't tell you exactly what posts I read, but most of it's on there.
    Also, here are a couple videos I watched:

    Thanks to bios-pw.org for being there in the past. You guys are great. Hopefully someone leaks or breaks 8FC8 in the future and puts it up on there.
    Big thanks to mh-nexus (mh-nexus.de/en/) for the excellent HxD hex editor.
    Also big thanks to Nikolaj Schlej for UEFITool (github.com/Lon.... Hopefully the editing feature comes back at some point.
