Symptômes

You may be prompted to contact Dell with a challenge code for resetting your NVMe drive BIOS password.

Cause

The NVMe drive has a BIOS password set, and the wrong password is entered.

Résolution

Dell does not support unlocking or resetting the NVMe BIOS passwords on Dell computers.

If you set a BIOS Administrator password before setting the NVMe drive password, you can try to enter the Administrator password, and it should clear the NVMe drive password.

If you did not, you can try to enter the PSID number that is physically on the drive in the password box.

Note: To clear the password, hold down the Ctrl + Enter keys simultaneously after entering the PSID.
Warning: Entering the PSID number erases the NVMe drive completely, removing all data, and resetting the password.
