Cannot change the BIOS settings

Hi all, I hope someone can advise on this? I have a HP Pro X 2 612 G1that I am unable to change the BIOS settings on. I can access the BIOS, but the options are grayed out. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version without the determination of the question. Any information is appreciated.  Thank you...

Hi, I have found the BIOS can not be change, unless an administrator password is set for the BIOS for a system used at home I have never set a BIOS password and think it should be owners choice but that I'm just a grain of sand in this big world! Thank you all

    Hello Derek

    Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

    You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

    1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

    2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

    3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.

  • X 1 carbon - cannot unlock the Bios settings

    Hello!

    For testing purposes, I set a supervisor password and put a lock on the Bios settings. Since then I can't access the settings because I have never asked the supervisor password. The biometric characteristics are activated. So when I restart and press F1 I get into the bios without beeing asked a password but I can't change the values.

    You associate your fingerprints with the supervisor password?  Another option instead of dragging your finger please press ESC and then manually type the password, I hope it will work.

    It's really good that you posted this question. So far on this forum many people ask the same questions, but all have been at the origin of new machines of Win8.
    Now we have the situation with the old machine Win7 but with Win8 preinstalled.

    Solution for other people needed to proceed to a complete stop and after doing this, it was possible to enter the BIOS settings. Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    This situation does not for me so here's a question for you:
    When you start your laptop, I guess you can see the Toshiba start screen. With F2 option is shown on the bottom of the screen?

  • This folder is located in the windows folder: $NtUninstallKB36574$ It is not available and you cannot change the security settings.

    This folder is located in the windows folder: $NtUninstallKB36574$
    It is not accessible.  I can't change the security settings.
    It is the remains of an outbreak of the virus.
    I saw that on 2 client computers this course last 6 months.
    So, how is it possible for an inaccessible folder to administrators?
    How can I change the security settings to remove.
    After you run several virus cleaners, I'm pretty sure that the virus has disappeared.
    Ideas?

    You should be able to remove it from the command prompt in Windows Repair Mode.

    Hi John,.

    1. What happens when you try to change the safesearch settings? You get the error message?
    2. Is research and results from Bing website suggestions option enabled? If this is not the case, turn it on and try to change the settings. This is because if the same is disabled, then the option in this window will be gray and you will not be able to make changes.

  • HELP... z400 will not start after changing the BIOS settings

Ive pulled the battery, reset the CMOS button and jumped the pins CMOS won't default. To b e there is a way to fix it... Please any ideas will be appreciated.

    Hi Glenn,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Important: Change BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the PC for the procedure for making changes in the BIOS.

    Do not hesitate to write to us in case you have any problems/concerns while working on your computer, we will be happy to help you.

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

    Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

    There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

    (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

    It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

    Thank you

    > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

    Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

    (* 1) * my knowledge the CMOS battery is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced like for example on desktop PC
    (* 2) * remove the CMOS battery would NOT reset the BIOS nor would be to remove the passwords.

    If I understand your problem, you are not able to access the BIOS, but you can start the laptop and the system. Is this correct?

    You have a kind of password (user / supervisor password?)

    Hello

    I just changed a new laptop with win 7. I have a little problem with screen saver which is defined in the field of sleep on white screen, set to 15 minutes and requires the password. Everything is more gray, so I have no possibility to change that.

    Can someone help me to unlock the screen saver settings (remove the grey shadow) so that I can customize my screen saver?

    Thank you

    Hi Baracus,
     
    1. are you able to click on the dropdown under screen saver?
    2 or it is dimmed as well?

     
    If this isn't the case, then select a different screen saver and try to change the settings.
