BIOS is read-only

Hello!

I have a t420s. I set a bios and hard drive password and boot from the hd only local. In addition, I put in a bigger of the 500 series ssd intel.

Nothing has changed.

No idea why, but if I press F1 at startup to access the BIOS, I am automatically in "read only" mode. How to unlock this mode?

Help is very appreciated!

Thank you

When you see the press serigraphy splash BIOS F1, when appears the password enter the supervisor password that you set. Quick symbol will be the same as the power on the symbol of the password, but you must enter the supervisor password, after the pop password if it is different from the password please.

    This is the disk image to the Flash Player installer that you downloaded.

  • USB key came into read-only mode

    Hello

    This morning my USB key came into read-only mode and I can't reverse this trend. I just assumed to come from the third party who helped me write on NTFS, but I have a drive HARD Toshiba (NTFS) that works and a USB key that is read-only. I changed the third party software and the same result. I tried the option 'get info' and I still do not see the permissions.

    I tried to format the drive - because it is read-only won't let me not - it. And so on.

    I tried disk utility - no result.

    I need an idea, suggestion, something for it to work.

    Thank you.

    When some Flash storage starts to falter, it locks in a read-only mode. So, it might be failing.

    When you try to format the drive, you must select the drive itself in disk utility, not partitions. If that's how you try to reformat, so I guess it's a failure.

  • How can I convert an incoming call read only an attachment so I can change it?

    How can I convert an incoming call reads only attachment so that I can change it? Save in Word does not it, and find research peut t.

    So, the problem seems to be that attachments are stored as files read-only by Thunderbird and an application it can open without editing privileges, so you cannot change the. Read-only mode was chosen because these files are kept in a temporary location. For example, if you modify and save the back, they are deleted when Thunderbird is closed, so losing your changes. The idea is to force to save you to a different location. You should be able to do it, then open it from that location with full editing capabilities.

    For a permanent change in this behavior, go in the [tools >] Options > advanced > general tab and click on Config Editor there. After you confirm the warning, copy - paste browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit into the search bar and switch false to true by double clicking on it. Now, saved attachments are created with read/write permissions, but is more removed when Thunderbird is closed (i.e., stored in % AppData%\Local\Temp).

  • How to format FAT32 Memory Stick that says that it is read only

    I have a 8 GB USB key (directly from the provider) that I can't write or re-form.  Under sharing and permissions of the USB it says that my access is read-only.  If I try to delete it via disk utility I get an error message saying it didn't - I see by looking at the "details" that permission has been denied.

    I tried to re - format the USB on a windows as well without success.

    Suspect it may be defective and are returned to the vendor but I was wondering if anyone has something else to think about.

    Thanks in advance,

    If you can not select the drive and delete and back in shape, then it is a bad drive. No new flash drive would come from a manufacturer as read only anyway. Even your mac must write in this format.

  • Set the mail read-only account

    I have a shared corporate email account that I use for the read-only.

    I'm not supposed to use that account to send emails, but have had a few close encounters.

    Is it possible in the e-mail settings that I can put an account to "read only"? I won't be able to write, move or remove anything through the mail application.

    This method would be much safer double checking each email before I send, sometimes I have to email very quickly and forget to double check.

    It is not a 'read only' option for e-mail accounts, but you can set the SMTP to zero.  SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, but what it does is Send Mail To People.

  • Profile of preferences given to 'Read only' after having turned it off.

    I can't start Firefox. He said: it is already running. The Task Manager shows all running instances. There is no "parent.lock" file '... default' folder. Every time I look at the preferences for the 'profile' folder, it shows 'read only' is defined. I erase it and next time I look at the 'read only' preferences is set.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it always resets "read only". Looks like the profile folder has something corrupt in it.

    Only a check mark in the box read-only means that a file or folder is read-only.

    Windows does check all files in a folder displays, instead of a green block to indicate that it is not safe.

    Always look at the files individually.

    Easier to do, it's to make the visible attributes in the mode "view details >": choose details in Windows Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
