Unlocking BIOS Hard Drive Passwords for NVMe Drives is Not Supported on Dell Computers

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

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

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.
