• Out of the blow of sleep when the HARD drive password used on Portege R700

  Hello
  I just got a DLI R700 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit
  I have a very annoying problem because it must be plus 1 minute to accept the password after the resumption of the mode standby. It would be faster out of the hibernation!
  So he wakes up from his sleep in a second, then you can enter the password without any problem but you just can't click on the arrow or press on enter up to what more than one minute. Similarly, it will accept even fingerprints directly at the exit (you get the green check mark) after wake but then expects just over one minute to move in the opening session on the desktop screen.

  Through a process of account, I worked on what was going on...
  Only, it crashes when you have the password on resume from sleep. CV password sleep turn out and he throws back in Office windows in seconds of wake
  This does not happen to resume from hibernation or reboot - scan of fingerprints or password is entered, then goes right into the office in a few seconds
  I started uninstalling software fingerpint, vap, power, toshiba - nothing always security management the same. Then I realized the password HARD drive - which was defined using the security of Toshiba and deleted using the same, has been still enabled in the bios. I have this off and everything works fine. I reinstalled the vap, power management and fingerprint software and everything is always very well, so it was defnitely the HARD drive password.
  Now it's really fake I want to have a RESUME from sleep password and HDD password protection - I have to choose between one or the other, unless I want to wait more than a minute each time he wakes from sleep which is a real pain! So it's clearly a bug in HARD drive password settings, probably in the bios? I have the latest BIOS installed.
  Any ideas on how to get this sort?

  Does anyone else have this problem with be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Or everyone doesn't have this problem, that is to say that they hear HARD drive password AND he wakes with password ok in a few seconds?
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  It's really hard to say something about what I can only say that I can t noticed this problem on my Windows installation.

  By the way: you are using the version Windows from Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

  Theoretically, it could be a problem to install Windows or disc itself are you able to test another installation of HARD drive or windows that you can make sure it is not a software problem?

• On Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive password

  Hello

  I have an almost dead Satellite Pro 6100, I was almost back on its feet, but we wonder a HHD password on start up. Apparently, one of the portable computers security features is "Password HARD drive on request".

  There were ideas! Cannot ask the laptop I can't!

  When the HARD drive password is set, and you start the laptop you must enter this password. Otherwise the drive will not spin.
  The functionality of the HARD drive password is to secure the data on the disc. If you do not have the password: no chance to use the HARD drive.
  So if you can't enter or ask for the password you must swap the HARD drive.

  Buy the way it is always strange if someone "owns" a laptop and one does not know the passwords! If you bought the computer laptop may it is stolen...

• Tecra A6 - how to remove the HARD drive password

  I am repairing a laptop Tecra A6 for one of my clients.
  For the first time, I fixed it for him, the hard drive was blocked from password and I had to reformat using an online service.

  I brought it back to the shop, she booted up and immediately, I wonder a password to unlock the drive.

  (2) at - it a solution without having to wipe the hard drive
  (3) Toshiba has tools or the default password that would unlock it

  The hard drive is a Toshiba MK6034GSX 80 GB.

  Any help please?

• Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

  So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
  (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
  but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
  the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

  I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

  But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

  When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

  What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?

• Satellite L300-1bw - Question on the removal of the HARD drive password

  Hi, I own a L300-1bw, is seriously damaged (I'm going to scrap it) I had a HARD drive password to set.

  Now, a friend has a C660 - 26G, which I hope to use to remove the password (which obviously I know).

  Now, I plan to install in the C660 and go into the Bios to remove my HDD password, I will then put it it an external USB caddy.

  Does anyone know if this is likely to work.

  * Just to make it clear, it's my hard drive and I know that the password.*

  Hello

  I read in this thread that someone tried to remove the HARD drive password using a laptop from another manufacturer, and it did not work. But he managed to remove the HARD drive password using a Toshiba laptop.

  Usually, the HARD drive password is stored and encrypted on the HARD drive therefore, theoretically, that it should be possible to delete a password KNOWN to the HARD drive using the C660.

  So I would simply test it

• Satellite U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

  How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

  Hi iliyan_84,

  You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
  Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

  Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

• Portege S100 ATA HARD drive password issue

  Hey guys

  I just wanted to ask a quick question. I've owned a Toshiba portege S100 computer laptop for about 18 months and he's had a life constantly on hard lol and some stains of coffee etc. Unfortuantly it launched the bucket the other week, so I got out and got a new toshiba laptop :)

  My problem is that I can't access my hard drive? He had a password for HARD drive that I got and now I can't unlock it. I tried several tools to unlock the dam thing and wil it unlock NOOOO! Now, I'm an unhappy man, because all my work was there.

  I have a tool that has several options to unlock HARD disk utility? It requires a login and a tank to fill? I was wondering if someone can help me?

  TY in advance

  Zarren

  Hello

  Unfortunately, if the HARD drive password has been set and if you n t know the password you will not be able to unlock the HARD drive.

  To my knowledge, the HARD drive password can be deleted from the BIOS and any other disk HARD unlock utility will not work.

  In my opinion, there is nothing to my buddy :(

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.

  Hi Oscar

• Built-in HARD drive password

  I am getting "Built-in HARD drive password" on my PC. Why? How can I 'work around' this message?

  If I try to install XP, I get a message that my says "cannot find your hard drive '.

  Is my hard drive broken?

  Hello

  I'm not an expert on this issue, but as far as I know without this password, it is not possible to use the HARD drive. Nothing can be done. Yet a new installation is not possible. As far as I know this password can not be removed, just changed and there is no chance to move. If it would be possible, as there is no protection for stolen at all units.

  If you bought the laptop second hand, you should ask the previous user to help you change this password.

• Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

  I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
  When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
  None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

  I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

  I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

  Thank you

  > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
  Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

  Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
  You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?

• How to remove the HARD drive password?

  Password, turn on your drive. I know, but cannot remove the password.
  How can I remove HDD password?

  I'm here with the solution...

  1. the HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

  2 using the BIOS CONFIGURATION go to the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
  HARD drive password
  HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
  HARD drive password mode = USER only
  Registered = user password

  3 tab in the "User password" field and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would. If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

  * Or try this: *.

  Enter the BIOS
  arrow to the "Registered" field HARD drive password
  Press
  Enter the existing password and then
  Enter the new password (or leave it empty if you n t want one no matter what password), then
  Meet confirm retype the new password (or leave blank (see above) then)

  That's all...
