Cannot open password tab to set a supervisor password in the Security menu of BIOS. BIOS freezes

A few days ago, I bought a Thinkpad T60. Everything is fully functional except for a problem with the BIOS password. It seems that there is no password defined previously as I can the entrance, the BIOS menu and put all the specific entries without any problem. However when I come to put a password in the BIOS, the BIOS suddenly freezes. Can - as someone knows what could be the reason for this? Is there a solution how to fix? Thank you

Also just to clarify, flashing a bios chip not to change the password or delete it, but if the chip is reburnned, which is often done during refurbishment a Council the data of all the chip is replaced. I don't know if this is possible or not, but given that the system has been 'hacked', you know, it is possible that someone reburned unduly bad data on the chip doing the supervisor password option non-operational. If (and I don't stress the 'if') that's the problem, then you can get it repaired. This type of repair is often necessary if a bios flash is interrupted and the system becomes unusable and costs usually $ 100 to $200.

Your best option might be to just use the system for what it is, or just replace the motherboard and do with it.

Good luck

  • Suddenly cannot open new tab, immediately after an update of MSWindows7, or after the upgrade to Windows 10 - tired, all kinds of bugs, no luck.

    Never had this problem until what MS downloaded and installed updates (for Windows7). So I said I'm going to widows 10 because I thought anyway, so I did this - still cannot open a new tab, or by clicking on the tab '+' or 'ctrl + T.
    I spent about an hour going by most of the measures that have been provided by the support of Mozilla tech note and it did not help. I'm not going to create a new FF profile.

    Dear cor - el,

    Now, I'm happy! Thank you very much.

    New tab works now. It is because of me running the first program malware that you listed above, Malwarebytes. I am grateful that you suggested it because I would not have thought that that would be the problem (because the problem occurred immediately after a MS Windows7 update.

    Anyway, thanks again for sharing your time and skills.,.

  • Cannot open new tabs

    Or the shortcut I have always used (command-tab) or even by clicking on '+' on the title bar worked, for the past few weeks. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by clicking on the links. I checked and updated, I know how to create new keyboard shortcuts... I just can't understand why normal methods don't work anymore. I have no problem with other browsers. Any ideas?

    We have seen reports on an extension of community toolbar causing this problem of not being able to open a new tab.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Cannot open new tabs to the menu, with double click or Ctrl + T

    Has been using firefox without problems until this morning. Now impossible to get a new tab to open by double clicking on the tab or by selecting 'new tab' file, or by using CTRL + t. run OS x 10.6.8.

    Click on the sign + to open new tab

    Command (CMD) + T = Mac

    CTRL + T - Windows / Linux

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to fix the problem and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • cannot open new tabs on firefox 24. + sign does not nor do 'file '->' new tab '.

    OS: win 7
    Update Firefox 23 to 24. Since then, I can't create new tabs though when I navigate to 'close the tabs right' it displays correctly the number of tabs, I tried to create and close. He however open tabs from links.

    The sounds that you are on version beta update channel (help > subject).

    This also happens with the current version?

    You can find the full version of the latest version of Firefox 23.0 in all languages and for all systems operating here:

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Cannot open my tabs to group.

    I saw a similar topic but the answers do not help. Previously, I do not have the session Manager installed, so I am unable to restore to an earlier date. When I open Firefox I script my computer will not meet the and the message I get is:

    script: resources: //app/modules/tabview/utils.jsm:617

    Would be grateful for answers to how do to solve this problem, I use this feature a lot.

    Kind regards

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

  • Cannot open a new window of an existing window since the last update.

    The shortcut on the desktop no longer works, it won't launch in my Start menu, from my quick launch area or in the program file itself. Since I already have a browser window open I am able to open a new window in the menu browser & in opening a new tab & "moving" towards a new window... but if I always close all the windows browser (as for a reboot) I'll be screwed.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!
