Cannot get into my laptop / username? I've never set up one!

I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 with securty fingerswip.  I always just turn it on, waiting for my finger swip and Windows starts to load on my counter top.  I tried to add another person to have access of finger, put in place, disconnected, and now when I try to go on the laptop that I have to do my finger swip, a password and then it goes to a blue screen that says user, my name and ask for a password? I have never set up a password for the user under my name and now I can't get back into my laptop.

Should I try to restore the computor back to the factory setting, wiping clean, and if yes, what element on the screen of the IBM BIOS got for it.  I can't find where one of these elements of change that will get me in.  I'm afraid to wipe and still not get?

Help!

P.S.: Please use the simple laymans terms when return an answer, thank you.

Have you tried to leave the empty ' administrator' password?  The default value of the administrator is empty.  If it is not empty then you set, either intentionally, or by an action in the process of setting up fingerprints.

If an empty password does not work - and none of the passwords that you remember entering while you were trying to configure the fingerprint system works - then although there is a way to 'reset the windows administrator password', I'm not allowed to tell you how to do it according to the rules of Microsoft for these forums.

Just be aware that if you do not reset a Windows password, you will lose all files in this account that have been encrypted with the EFS in Windows file system (unless you have backup for that identifying information).

    original title: laptop trouble

    Good so recently on my laptop of his fathers has ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there. He tried to clean the key to bored all possible ways, and nothing works. He wondered if he had a Ctrl function that would allow him to put a s with the key or bypass the password lock. Also, it has no access to a USB keybored.

    If the account in question was not the built-in account named Administrator, and then log on to that account and go to control panel > users to change the password.

    The password for the administrator built-in account is blank (no password).

    To connect to the built-in Administrator account:

    Reboot safe mode: press F8 immediately after power on.  The administrator account is displayed on the homescreen mode without failure.

  • Satellite L70 - A - 13P - cannot get into BIOS after the BIOS setting password?

    HI, Satellite L70 - A - 13P

    I set up a password user and supervisor. Works very well. However, I can't get into bios. If I press F2 as usual, I have the box "enter password" (the same as for normal startup). After you type the password for the supervisor, computer continues initializing and do not get into the bios!

    I keep the key pressed F2 but nothing works.
    I also tried ESC, F1, INS, F12, 0.

    Help.

    User and supervisor password the same?
    Have you been able to get into the BIOS in the past?

    Proceed to a complete stop and restart the laptop. Then try with F2 or F12. When you will be asked to set supervisor password and I hope that you will be able to enter the BIOS settings.

  • Cannot get into the BIOS on my Sat A30

    Hi all

    I have problems to enter the BIOS. I heard when I want to get into the BIOS I have to press the ESC key when Toshiba logo is shown in the startup.

    But nothing happens!

    Could someone help me?

    Sammy23

    Hi Sammy23
    That is right. It's actually the ESC you press. But there is more to know. During the time where appears the Toshiba logo, that represents about 1.5 seconds or so machine "listens" for the ESC at the beginning.
    Means that you have to be quick like a cat to press ESC. I usually press ESC several times all the way to the market (until the Toshiba Logo is displayed). Try this. Another way to get into the BIOS uses Toshiba HWSetup (looks like a key any) in the in the Windows Control Panel. You can access almost all the parameters of the BIOS from there.

  • Satellite C660-1U4 - cannot get into the BIOS settings

    I tried all the usual "F2", Del and all othe buttons F including ESC, nothing works, I really need to get into my bios because my touchpad does not work.

    To be honest I n don't know what you want to do in the BIOS.
    If the touchpad won t work check if the touchpad driver is installed correctly and also do not forget the touchpad is not disabled. Use the combination of keys FN + F9 to toggle the touchpad.
