Brand new T440s with BIOS password

Hello

I have a big problem.

I bought online a new T440s I opened the box for the first time myself. When I go into the BIOS it asks for password and I just hit enter without entering a password. I can get into BIOS but I can't change any settings.

What can I do? A brand new thinkpad can come with a BIOS password on the box?

I get conflicting information regarding the type of password. First image said his power over who can be removed but bios says his supervisor.

In fact, it can happen. Sometimes large customers require laptops preconfigured which may include customized supervisor passwords. Of course, you should have not received one of these units. Ask the seller for a replacement unit, there is no easy way to remove an unknown supervisor password without replacing the motherboard for the laptop.

  • Z580 - laptop came with BIOS PASSWORD?

    3 years ago, I bought a lenovo Z580 since m6mobile.fr.

    I've never had access to the BIOS up to this point, because I want to sell this laptop.
    However, there is a BIOS password set, and I never put it. Do you have the dealer set a BIOS password on my laptop, or was it Lenovo?

    If you say it was me, no it was not, unless someone crept into my room and controlled to me which is probably not the case.

    Thank you

  • Re: Satellite A50 - how can I change the boot with BIOS password priority?

    I have a Satellite A50. I need to restore to factory default to recover DVD, how do I boot from the DVD?

    The default boot priority is the HARD drive and is more bootable has been formatted. My BIOS is password protected, how can I change the boot priority? After having inserted the password, its always boot from the HARD drive.

    Thank you

    The boot priority, that you can change in the BIOS.
    Go into the BIOS with ESC, enter your password and then you can change it.
    But don t forget to save the changes.

    That s all and then you can boot from the CD.

  • Brand new T400 with 9-cell 90 Watt charger and - purchase of 2 charger question

    I would like to order while the accessories are on sale.  New on Lenovo (Dell computers which was has long had enough).

    Machine came with the enhanced port replicator and 90 Watt charger.  I want to buy 2 magazine.  I'm of the belief:

    (1) whether 65 or 90 watt Chargers will work only with the PC (i.e. no Port Replicator).

    (2) a 90 Watt charger CAN charge my battery 9 cells faster, 40% faster.

    The 90 watt weighs a bit more, so for the trip, I'd be more inclined to the lighter and cheaper to 65 watts.  I just wanted to clarify the time to charge the battery.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    65 is ideal for travel. It will take more time to load. Also check the charger price on Amazon.

This has not been defined by anyone, and if so, I already tried a few passwords by default we use in special cases like this. Can you please help me with BIOS password reset please? I don't want to open up the laptop to reset the BIOS with the PIN, battery or switch... and I'm really not sure if this is possible with this model. Whatever it is, guaranteed disappears if I do.

    Enterprise-class specifications are of a very different category than consumer laptops.

    Security is very strict.

    Remove the password admin or start will require replacement of the motherboard or BIOS CMOS chip with one that has been programmed with a new copy of a ROM family file there is place of BIOS.

    For the notebook to stay in coverage that must be performed by a service provider authorized HP.

  • Tecra A3X - how to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello

    I have a Tecra A3x who died before Christmas. I bought a motherboard replacement on eBay. I mounted the motherboard and the powers of the Unit well stop but to a password screen that is black. I tried to find a way to wipe the BIOS and have removed the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes. I read that most laptops have a jumper built in too fix. I've looked in the usual places - memory modules etc. I can t find it anywhere.

    Any help would be very welcome.

    Thank you
    John

    Hello John

    As you probably know BIOS password is very important security feature and remove the BIOS password can be described on the public forum of the manufacturer s. It is a kind of top secret information.
    It is not logical to do this, right?

    Each Tecra A3X stolen with BIOS password could be unlocked.
    In my opinion, you should contact the person who sells you this motherboard and request password. If he cannot stop, return. At this info in the description of the product on its offer to ebay?

Assuming that this system was reported stolen by anyone. Is it possible to unlock it?

    Moreover, it also has a finger scanner.
