Was anyone able to help you?
Appreciate hearing from you on this.
Thanks
(this notenook uses the 24C164 chip instead of the 24C02
so shorting the terminals won't erase the password, or so I've
been told...)

I am currently in the same position with a DELL inspiron 7000. I have today removed the 24C164 chip and erased it completely. Refitted it and booted the PC to find it is still asking for the bios password??
Starting to think this is not where the password is stored. Instead it may just be the DELL unique number.
Any ideas appreciated anyone.
