3 years ago Same for me, I was trying by more than a week looking in many forums and youtube channels and almost gave up then miraculously I found this message from gdeban (thank you soooooo much @gdeban !). I have a latitude E5570 and I had to use the BF97 ending instead of 6FF1 (that is the ending code of my laptop) to obtain the valid password Also if you don't want to change your algorithm I think it would be very useful at least to write on the website in bold red just a note "If you have a code that ends with 6FF1 and the generated password doesn't work try to change the 6FF1 part with BF97 and generate a new password" it would be an easy win.
In any case thank you, with your algorithm and the help of gdeban in the end I managed to solve my problem! :)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I had trouble generating the appropriate code for a Dell Latitude E7470. The serial number ends in 6FF1 and I found in an other issue that in some cases it had to be replaced with BF97. It was the case indeed.
Describe the solution you'd like When generating the password for a Dell from serial number ending in 6FF1, the password for BF97 should be displayed as an alternative code to try in case the first one is not working.
Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively a message inviting to try replacing with BF97 could be shown.
