Bad password the BIOS at startup Satellite A series

After the children have used the laptop by connecting to BIOS password I get "invalid password" I don't think that they have been in the BIOS and changed it, so the only thing I can think is the language has been changed.

I had this before but have always managed to open a session.
Is it possible to XP to change the keyboard layout?

If Yes to what?

Is there a round work, or is it repair £150.

Thanks for watching.

Hello

Keyboard language can be changed in Windows XP.
To do this, you must go to
Control Panel-> regional languages and Options-> languages-> details tab
Here, you can define an additional or new keyboard language.
You can also use a short SHIFT + ALT key to switch between languages.

But the main point is that this work of parameters only when operating system running Windows XP.
In the BIOS, the provision could t be changed...
So it is hard to believe that the children changed the layout of the keyboard.

For me it s not explained why the BIOS password has been changed or why fake BIOS message

However, if you are unable to boot up the laptop because of the BIOS password then you will need to contact the ASP in your country to remove BIOS
You will have to pay for this service but I put t believe that it s expensive

  • How to remove the BIOS on my Satellite A200 password?

    Dear Sirs:

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 10N with number of MODEL PSAE3E - 02D00HGR and mistakenly got a password when you turn on your computer and are lost, the fact is that it is unclear if it was the BIOS or via the utility you have in the Windows Vista operating system.

    In any case should reset the BIOS form or another way to do as in the beginning and do not ask for a password.

    Thank you.

    Hi dude

    Bad news the BIOS cannot be removed or deleted if you n t know the old password.

  • What is the password for the BIOS on my Satellite A100-376?

    Hello!

    Yesterday I did update the BIOS of my A100-376 Satellite from Toshiba (PSAAR) to version 5, 90 - WIN. Everything is ok, but now when I'am trying to enter the BIOS Setup by pressing F2 at startup, BIOS ask me a password but I don't know what it is because I do not have. What is the problem? Something is wrong? Please help me.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    are you sure you didn t set a BIOS password or some of your friends/family? Because it is impossible that an update of the BIOS is setting a password. My friend has a Satellite A100-778, while he did the same update, you did and there is no problem.

    Maybe you need to just press 'Enter' when trying to get into the BIOS. Otherwise, I would say do the update again and try to find out who put the password. :)

    Hello

    The unknown BIOS password cannot be deleted or removed easily.
    The unknown BIOS password can be removed ONLY by a certified maker Toshiba.

    To my knowledge, the Satellite M30-742 PSM30E-7100V-EN was released in Europe (probably for the British market)
    Then, probably, you should contact the ASP from Toshiba available to the United Kingdom in order to remove the BIOS password.

    Here is a link to all Toshiba ASP available worldwide:

  • I forgot the password of BIOS of my satellite M40X-112

    Hello

    I forgot the password to the BIOS of my laptop and I put the laptop so that it requires a password, not only for the opening of the Setup utility, but even to boot. The most annoying is that I stay in Corfu now and I will stay there for another 2.5 weeks. So, I won't be able to use my laptop for the rest of my vacation if there is no solution to remove the password. It is horrible cause I bought primary laptop to have a computer on vacation.

    I recorded my laptop immediately after purchase in line with toshiba. So what can I do to get rid of these password?

    Can send Toshiba my instructions how to remove via e-mail or is it Toshiba Service partner in the weeklies (Greece) where can I get the laptop to in order to get the password removed by the partner?

    Thank you in advance!

    p. a. I am writing an Internet coffee because my laptop is completely useless for the moment

    Hello

    As far as I know you can t change the BIOS password by yourself, because it's a very complicated procedure. To do this you must contact your official service partner Toshiba. They should check, if the device is stolen or not.
    On the Toshiba site, you can find the right service partner.

  • How to access the BIOS on my Satellite 5205 settings?

    Hello

    I have a laptop of s703/5205 series of satellites. How can I access the bios settings? When I switch on I get the screen "Welcome to toshiba." There are some keys I press during the boot process? On my other laptop I usually press 'DEL' or 'F2 '.

    I would be grateful assistance as my portable computer touchpad and, when connected, the external mouse freezes during normal operation. Sometimes I can navigate with the keys alt & tab, sometimes everything crashes. Also I get error messages saying "device connected to the usb port not recognized" Although there is no device attached to my laptop. I tried to plug an external mouse to see if that solves the problem of touchpad but the mouse freezes also.

    I need to check the bios settings, bios access help would be really appreciated!

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    The keys to use are dependent on the age of the laptop and also what manufacturer of BIOS you have.

    Usually by pressing ESC will show the progress of the BIOS during the startup phase.

    Pressing F2 usually you will take in the BIOS Setup menu, press F8 brings you to the 'Start' menu (where you can select the safe, etc) and finally F12 will give you the selection of "Boot Device" menu where you can select the hard disk, CD-Rom, etc. as boot device.

    Hello

    How can I start BIOS at the start of my knees, to boot from the cd...
    I have the Satellite L300 - 1 CM

    Special greetings

    MacMysty

    If you want to change the boot order, you can do this in the BIOS (F2 on startup) or you can also enter the START menu at the beginning upward.
    Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly.

    When the boot menu appears, use the up and down arrows and choose CD/DVD.
    Put the CD in the optical drive and press ENTER.

  • How do we uninstall sound card from the bios on a Satellite L40?

    I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and install having problems with him. The technical team was advised to uninstall or diasble internal sound card via Device Manager. Tried and every time computer re - starts the sound card is re-installed.

    The team informed that I should uninstall it from the bios. I have only a very basic knowledge of computers, it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of the instructions, or guide me through it.

    I have a portable Satellite L40 and Vista works on the computer.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul

    I got some bad news! You can't disable the sound card in the BIOS. The BIOS for laptops is just different as BIOS for the desktop PC and the menus are not the same.

    +*@McMadkat*+
    Please don t be angry with me, but I think that your suggestion is wrong.

    The sound card may be disabled in the Windows operating system device manager

  • Computer laptop MSI cannot go beyond the BIOS at startup

    Hello world!

    I'm trying to fix computer MSI laptop of my roommate (I don't have access to this right now, but I'll post the pattern later) which initializes more. He said he picked up the phone and moved to a different location on his desk before encountering this problem. When you turn on the laptop, the MSI and other logos appear. According to my roommate, the function keys to access the BIOS settings usually appear shortly after turning on the power, however they do not appear and the system never moves past this white screen of the BIOS. The motherboard doesn't give any beeps or other diagnostic codes. Here's what I did in an effort to fix it until now:
    • Took a CD - RW in the optical drive (there is no boot sector and the optical drive has priority boot).
    • Disassemble the laptop and re sitting 3 sticks of RAM, for a total of 12 GB. One of the sticks seems to have a small spot on one of the contacts, and I removed it by rubbing lightly with a gum pink pencil.
    Unfortunately, we have not made any progress, and the problem persists as described. Normally I would Flash the BIOS at this stage, but since there is no startup options, what else could be?
    Note: the dual-boots Windows 8 (primary) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, system with the GRUB bootloader used for the selection of the OS.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello

    If you can't even get into the bios, you need to look in the manual for a CMOS\Bios 'Clear' or the 'Reset' button or the rider...

    If you can get into the bios, make sure that the graphics card is set up correctly...

    Some machines have a CPU\GPU with an additional AMD or NVidia graphic chip combo...

    The machine may be trying to use the bad.

    Try to remove EVERYTHING except one that the memory sticks, and one by one try them individually...

    Also try to isolate a possible bad slot trying a few sticks of different in each slot individually.
