All new ThinkPad 10 has a located on the BIOS supervisor password!

I tried to do some exploring of the BIOS and found that once I started it, I was invited to a supervisor password. It's a brand new/sealed ThinkPad 10 I got 2 days ago.

Is there a default supervisor for the BIOS password? I tried (which it does not even consider an acceptable password to only submit), I tried my password user (just in case)... nothing works.

The indicator shows nothing else than a command prompt to the supervisor: with user: below it.

WTH!

Got understood it; Although a new tablet, he had apparently been unsealed and deployment done on it and the password has been set during this process. I got the password and was able to enter the BIOS (and more important still, delete it)

  • According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the section 'printers and faxes '.

    You have a printer again, with installation CD. According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the "printers and faxes" section in Control Panel. Model of printer - Epson XP-200.  Have a Dell, Windows XP.  Help!  Not even sure who to ask...

    What version of XP (Home, Pro, Media Center) and service pack (none, 1, 2, 3)?

    Printers and faxes is totally blank?

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following in the black command prompt window and press enter
    spooler request SC

    You should see something like this:
    Service_Name: Spooler
    TYPE: 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
    STATE: 4 RUNNING
    (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN
    WIN32_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0X0)
    SERVICE_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0X0)
    CHECKPOINT: 0X0
    WAIT_HINT: 0X0

    What is the 'State' displayed for you?

    Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK) and scroll down to "print spooler".  The status should be started and the Startup Type should be automatic.  What are the parameters of your correspondents?  If your print spooler is stopped, you can try to launch it by clicking on the link, but I suspect that it stops again.  Please report the results of your efforts.

  • Qosmio F60 - new SSD now will not appear in the BIOS or at the Win7 Installation

    I recently bought a new OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB Solid State Drive to upgrade my PC laptop Toshiba Qosmio F60 with.

    After that I installed it first of all, it has been detected immediately in both the bios and during the installation of Windows 7. However, for some reason any approximately 40% of the way through installation, the computer restarts and the drive has disappeared since the BIOS all together and now, after several reboots it does not always detect!

    Note that I already have the latest version of the BIOS installed on my laptop V2.70

    I'm not sure what I would do here and any help would be appreciated?

    Can you please set BIOS to default settings and check if the SSD is recognized in the BIOS again?
    > Please note that I already have the latest version of the BIOS installed on my laptop V2.70
    In my opinion it is not relevant at all.

  • Brand new Aspire E11 (E3-111) brick by the BIOS utility official Acer - what now?

    Yesterday, I bought a new netbook for my girlfriend. I decided to make sure that the netbook is using the latest BIOS and latest drivers. So I downloaded the BIOS utility official support page (http://www.acer.cz/ac/en/US/content/drivers/5329;-;) Aspire 20E3-111%), extract BIOS_Acer_1.05_A_A.zip and launched BIOS_Acer_1.05_Windows\ZHJ_105.exe.

    The utility began to update the bios without asking (!), the system has been rebooted and I also saw a progressbar finishing 100%. Then I waited... nothing (battery was full and connected to the AC). Now, the netbook is dead. Power button does nothing.

    Is there something I can do before I go back?

    My broken netbook has been replaced by a new. You can be sure that I won't try updating the BIOS again ;-).

  • Where is the location of the bios on a Satellite Pro 4200 battery?

    I need to change the battery of the BIOS on my laptop satellite. Could someone point me to the correct location on the computer of the battery.
    Thanx

    It is not the problem to say where is the CMOS battery location but do you really want to disassemble this laptop on your own and without maintenance manuals?

    In any case, you must remove top of keyboard and coverage. If I remember well the CMOS battery is placed on the left side of the mouse buttons.

    Remember that you must use exactly the same CMOS battery. Use of incorrect batteries may ends with the explosion of the battery.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 2 has no DRIVE in the BIOS

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A200 - 1 2 and I can not see the SATA HDD in bios, or start. I checked if the hard drive has the power and he has some, any other ideas?

    Hmm, you say that it does not appear in the BIOS?
    Try to start the A200 and check the operating system device manager.
    The HARD drive should be listed.

    By the way; I have a laptop with a SATA HDD too and in the BIOS homepage appears only as Toshiba MK1637GSX HARD drive name. Nothing mentioned about SATA.

    I imagine that the same details appear in the BIOS you.

  • Pavilion series 6, P6 - 2220t: HP Pavilion P6 - 2220t. All security USB connections are turned off in the BIOS. Need to turn it on.

    I was told that all security USB connections is disabled in the BIOS. The only controls for this PC is USB ports for mouse and keyboard control ect.  How can I get into the bios without keyboard and mouse in operation? There is no other way to control this model computer. The only connections on this PC is only the USB connections. Again, if I can get somehow get into the BIOS I can enable security USB connections as it should.

    Fixed a problem.

    I have install a market after card bipassing USB bios usb connections.  I went in the BIOS and turned on USB connections. I figured out the EASY DIFFICULTY and solved the problem myself. No other technology needed in this case.

  • Restore the backup with a new name and a different location on the same server

    Hi all

    I did a complete backup of my current PROD. Is it possible to restore the database on the same server, but with a different instance name, db_name and on another location?

    PRM says:
    Hi all

    I did a complete backup of my current PROD. Is it possible to restore the database on the same server, but with a different instance name, db_name and on another location?

    If you use RMAN my awnser is not.

    You cannot change the name of the database before open resetlog.

    But you can make this work without problem using the same server.

    You will need to change some parameters.

    Create a PFILE from SPFILE (prod) change parameter 'db_unique_name' file new name (ex TEST).

    Change all the value of PROD TEST except db_name parameter must be PROD.

    CREATE a SPFILE from this PFILE (spfileTEST.ora)
    Create a new password file (orapwTEST)

    So you can start this new Instance_name (TEST).

    Restore the PROD to TEST instance database, you will need use set new name to the file data or database (depends on which version you use)

    Retrieve the instance PROD database (TEST)

    It is time to open resetlogs...
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION HERE!

    You need change redo log location before open resetlogs, you must query v$ logfile member column and change it to another location.

    After change you can open resetlog.

    Now its time to change name of database.

    Stop and start Mount

    Use the NEST

    NEST target=sys/password@instance DBNAME = TEST

    When this process is complete, NEST will be closing database.

    So you will need to start with nmount change db_name to the TEST and reset the parameter 'db_unique_name' (alter system reset db_unique_name)

    Then stop and start upstairs question OPEN DATABASE RESETLOGS and is done.

  • How to create a default profile for all users of a computer under Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions greater than 8? I would that all new users on a computer to get the same values by default, homepage, bookmarks, etc...

    I found some help on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions greater than 8. There must be a way to do this for imaging large scale.

    Have you created a defaults\profile in the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)?

    All files in this folder will be moved into each newly created profile folder.

    To give the prefs a default, it is best to do this via a mozilla.cfg file.

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.

    Place a local file - settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    

    See:

    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

    defaultPref();  // set new default value
    pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes
    
  • New blank document has a substitution on the standard paragraph

    I feel something WEIRD. I tried to fix a problem of style of table for a few days, and I just noticed the following (other) problem:

    1. Open a new blank document not from a model.
    2. Grab the text tool, create a text box and place the cursor inside.
    3. Observe the result in the paragraph Styles palette: standard paragraph shows a + next to him (which indicates there is a substitution on the style)

    Can someone tell me why? Thank you!

    Peter

    Standard paragraph both other text controls are accessible through any opening of files. Looks like you want to keep the current definition of the style.  With no open docs, I suspect that you already see the sign, so just Alt-click with no file open and it should reset all settings of text to match the current definition of style and which will become the default for new documents.
