BIOS password ask after you put the recovery CD

Hi all

I have a problem,

I put inside my Satellite A210-17z recovery CD and I reboot the system.

The system to boot to the CD and ask me the recovery, I said yes, an MS-DOS window opens. It seems that the recovery was in progress and completed.
After my phone restarts itself and a BIOS password asked me, but I never put a BIOS password.

You have an idea or know this password?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Julien

Hello Julian

BIOS password can be set only and the recovery procedure has nothing to do with the BIOS, BIOS password or the BIOS settings.
Recovery CD has the task to wipe the HARD drive and install recovery image.

I did the installation of recovery many times on different laptops (not only the portable Toshiba) and I never noticed anything like that. So the question is, does anyone else have the BIOS password value and you don't know about it?

BIOS password can be removed by the Toshiba service provider.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A210, stil does not start after you use the recovery disk

    Hi, my computer laptop girls stopped booting, I tried everything to fix this, but it seems to be on a loop.

    He runs the repair of your computer, but after a while, I get the message, this computer cannot repair this fault automatically (or something similar), there is also a message that says - if you have connected a camera or to this computer's portable music player, remove it now and restart.

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with command prompt and last know good configuration but still no joy, so I eventually ran the recovery disc. Once it was finished, I was to square.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I can try next - other than to throw it out the nearest window.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Never heard talk of this error but sounds strange
    If I understood your first assignment; you were able to complete the installation of the OS from the recovery disc. Is this good?

    Well, in this case the HARD disk must be OK because the files were copied correctly

    I searched a bit in google and didn t have found a solution to 100%.
    Some have said that new OS install should solve this perhaps you could use clean up Windows Vista, Win XP disk

    You can also try to format the drive HARD integer first. Delete all partitions on the HARD drive, and then try again

    PS: You can check the HARD drive using the + Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. +
    Its free tool. You can find using google

  • Lose the FTP connection after you put the computer to sleep

    I usually work in Dreamweaver on my Macbook. However, if I'm working on a Web site and decide to stop for a while (it's how I closed my Macbook), everytime I open my Macbook again, so lost FTP connection. Sometimes it comes back after a long period of time, and other times I can do return disconnection/reconnection airport several times. But most of the time, I just closed Dreamweaver and reopen it. If I do this, the connection works perfectly again.

    Does anyone know how to avoid to have to close and restart Dreamweaver in order to maintain the FTP connection after having put a Macbook to sleep?

    The FTP queue time is set by your web hosting provider.  I don't think DW has mechanisms in place to send empty commands to keep the connection alive, and even if it did, it would take the computer to be operational.  You shouldn't have to restart DW well in order to get a connection.  Simply by clicking on the login button in the files panel should do the trick.

  • Password changed after you disable the login screen

    Then I disabled my login screen, today and now when I start my computer, it brings me to a page that said 'incorrect password' and then returns to the login screen. Then when I enter my password it does not work. It seems that my password has been changed somehow when I disabled the login screen. In the meantime I can use my fingerprint reader to log on, but if I were to ever lose a finger in the future I wouldn't be able to access my computer. So, how can I reset my password?

    Curiously the admins cannot change her password without having to type the current password, but they can change the password of any other account without knowing the password.

    Not true - see here:

    1. click on the start planet.
    2. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    3. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    4. click on "run as Administrator".
    5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    NET user "Zach" 123456
    The command above will set the password of the account selected to 123456.

    Original title: after recovery on my computer dell laptop running Windows XP

    I have a laptop Dell circa 2004 with windows XP Professional on it. I contacted a bug of some kind and it was very slow and the fan even stopped working. My only choice was to use the disk installation and F8 to recover the laptop. After that I got all going again once I tried to set up a new connection and it doesn't seem to know that I have a wireless adapter or the ability to connect wirelessly. Any body can help me to understand why it does this?

    Hi Phillacio,

    In addition to the procedure step by step proposed by Shenan Stanley, you can download the network drivers from the website of Dell support on another computer, bring to this laptop computer using a flash drive and install them first.

    Then follow all the steps above one by one, and your laptop should work great.

    Response with the State of the question and we say if it worked or not.

    Thank you!

  • Re: Satellite M70 Bios password prompt after updating Bios

    I upgraded my bios M70 with one published in 18/11/2008. After completing the upgrade the computer turned off. I tried to start it but it asks password. I never put or used the bios password before. What is the solution?

    Hi guys

    First of all I must say that it s really strange question, but I've seen questions;

    What OS you have and what version of BIOS have you tried?

    Driver page provides a BIOS for Toshiba Europe * Vista only * (* 5.20 - WIN *) and other BIOS is * NOT * compatible with Vista OS (* 1, 60 - WIN *)!

    It would be interesting to know more details.

  • Satellite Pro A100 request BIOS password which was never put

    Hiya

    Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

    I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

    I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks in advance

    This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
    Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

    Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

    I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

    Do you know how to find the ASP closest?

    Without knowing the password for your iPhone, there is no way to unlock it, bring even you to the Genius Bar. If you continue to enter the wrong password, you will be locked out of your iPhone, and your data will be unaccessable.
