Skylake systems are unable to use BIOS options to reset the system settings in case of lock out. Older system versions of OptiPlex systems which used Legacy settings could undergo a reset by selection of settings in BIOS under the MEBx interface. Skylake systems which have previously gone through set up and configuration using MEBx will not revert by selecting full un-provision in BIOS settings. MEBx Password Reset for Skylake desktop systems such as the OptiPlex 7040 NEWER Versions use CTRL I or CTRL M or another key. if you don't have options related to the AMT/ME, look for an updated bios, and contact the manufacturer. Ctrl-P only works when the post screen is displaying "Intel® MEBX: " if you don't see that prompt, your bios is either lacking the configuration, or it is not enabled. To that end, I have looked for a setting in the Bios to do this (no luck) and used the Dell Configuration Utility (CCTK) to find a way to do that, but that was also a bust.ĭoes anyone have any idea how to disable Intel ME on these desktops? After reading the various warnings from Intel and Dell (and others) about the danger of out of date firmware on the Intel ME and also that it can be leveraged to take over a system, we decided the safest course we could take was to disabled Intel ME on these systems. The firmware versions for Intel ME on these machines is old and probably have not been updated since the machines were installed, as there was no knowledge of this technology existing or that it was enabled. They can easily be enabled for remote management, but that is not what we want to do. All if them have Intel Active Management technology and they are all enabled and in pre-provisioning state. We have a number of different models of Optiplex desktops, all out of warranty.
