BIOS locked drive

My Lenovo 3000 N100 went completely dead from one day to the next. I'm trying to reuse the 250 GB Seagate hard drive that was on the N100, but it has locked bios. I installed the drive in my housing Ultrabay T61 and, as expected, got a locked disc 2 to start. The password on the disk is 6 letters and *. I can enter the six letters, but when I enter * I get two beeps. It seems that the bios didn't

recognize the 88 SHIFT which is *. I tried other numbers uppercase, but only get beeps.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

The N100 and T61 have different BIOS, it is unlikely that what you try will work, but like anything else, it's certainly worth a try.  If you can get your hands on an another N100 your chances are almost a cert.

Have you tried not to type the *?  The PW contains any character special as § or %?  Done turn on / turn off the password function in the BIOS T61 help?  Don't forget to remove the other passwords before playing with it, we do not want a case that you can not change the return parameter

    Z90D7 Bios locked ort

    I have a new Thin Client Z90D7 that took its Bios password locked out. We tried the default password: Fireport

    This does not work for us. Does anyone know what should be the Bios password?

    Wow! No responses LOL!

    I actually found the problem. He was not with the password Bios "Fireport" itself, but the Wyse keyboard accompanying the Thin Client Z90D7.

    The keyboard has a manufacturing defect which depresses the key 'G' each time you press the button "T". A drop test good with the keyboard, released what was causing the problem, and I'm back in business...

  • KB #930063 - error Bit Locker Drive preparation tool: "update does not apply to your system.

    I try to enable BitLocker on my laptop, and apparentlym my drive is misconfigured. I'm trying to get a copy of the drive preparation tool to help me, but I can't find a version compatible with Windws Vista Enterprise SP2. Knowledge Base article explains two ways to get the tool - windows update help and by following this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=320B9AA9-47E8-44F9-B8D0-4D7D6A75ADD0 - and none of these work.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as an automated tool compatible with SP2, and I'm not 100% clear on what to do to prepare the drive manually. I've got 20 GB unallocated disk main HARD outside the system partition and the partition of storage, but I want to know what to do before you start fiddling around with it. I know that the BitLocker boot partition must have a size of at least 1500, and it should be active, but what files need to be on it so that BitLocker to run? What else do I need to do before I can activate BitLocker?

    Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

    If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

  • BIOS locked on a Satellite C855-2GV - grayed out options

    Hello

    having trouble with my laptop.
    The partition of my drive is lost (not so bad, I can fix it I guess), but the main problem is that my Bios is really stuck. I can not change anything in it.

    Everything is grey, I can't make changes to it but the date and time system.

    I tried to find an update to Flash the bios, but it seems that nobody is available.
    Seems that the model is as unknown, kinda weird btw.

    What can I do?

    Thanks much for any help.

    If you want to install Windows 8, you have two choices:
    (1) you are going to use the Toshiba Recovery disk
    (2) you can buy the Microsoft Windows 8.

    In case you n t have recovery disc, you can order this disc from here:

    Note: you had an option to create this first day of the purchase of the laptop drive. Preinstalled software creator called Toshiba Recovery disk allows you to create this disc.
