Dell 1B58 BIOS password: models and recovery

1B58 is the four-character ending after the dash on a Dell BIOS password screen. It is part of the device code, not the recovery password. Use the complete on-screen code to check recovery options.

A 1B58 generator did not help?

Check whether the tool lists 1B58 and whether you entered the complete code from an Admin/Setup screen. No result is not a diagnosis, and a result from a different code is not interchangeable.

  1. Read the System Number on the Dell Admin password screen, sometimes headed Dell Security Manager. Use the screen rather than only the Service Tag sticker.
  2. For example, XXXXXXX-1B58 has two parts: enter XXXXXXX in the code field and choose 1B58 as the suffix. Do not add the ending twice.
  3. If the code is missing or unreadable, send support a photo of the password screen before ordering. Send the screen photo on WhatsApp.

A Windows sign-in, BitLocker recovery key or HDD password is a different request. Compare the password screens.

Check the screen before continuing

For an Admin password that prevents changes to Dell BIOS settings. Not for System/power-on, Windows, drive or BitLocker passwords. Online service: no device shipping or remote access to your files. Recovery password for access to Dell BIOS settings and a PDF guide, emailed immediately after payment is confirmed.

Instructions
If Windows starts and the password is asked only when you open settings: shut down, turn on, and tap F2 several times (Dell). The same password screen opens. System Number is on that screen, not inside the BIOS menu.

FAQ3
Does the list include Dell Pro laptops from 2026?

Yes: Dell Pro 5 14 P514265 is the 2026 example for 1B58. The Pro 14 PC14250/PC14255, Pro 16 Plus PB16250 and Pro Max 16 MC16250 examples are from 2025.

Can I choose the suffix from the laptop model?

No. The same model can show different endings. Use the suffix on your own password screen, even when your model appears in another guide.

What if there is no recovery option for my code?

Check the full code and the type of password first. Dell Support can advise on recovery after verifying ownership; for a company-managed laptop, ask the IT administrator. Master Password Lockout can prevent reset by recovery password.
