Cannot set the password for BIOS supervisor on U300s

Hi all.

I was able to enter the BIOS and will mark the setting on the Advanced tab, I could see Security tab, but, I couldn't change the settings! It was not locked by password at all. It seemed that everything on the menu has been disabled. So, I couldn't create the supervisor password.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you.

I found that I have to change quick start the normal start first, and then I could put the password. Solved!

  • Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

    Hello

    I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

    BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

    Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

    Hi, ctenorman

    I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes

  • Cannot set the password for user connection in Vista Home Basic

    My laptop (running Vista SP2) has no password on the user account. Guest account is disabled and my user account is administrator.

    I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
    AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
    I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

    "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

    Any ideas what to do here? I tried searching online and through this forum but have been unable to find someone who had the same problem, and even less it is solved!

    I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

    I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

    Computer info here

    I also took a screenshot of the thing that MSE found after analysis is complete on my system.

    I solved this problem!

    The problem was caused by HP - something that was installed on my laptop security manager because I bought - I never used and had no idea he was running. I discovered this when I decided to upgrade my operating system to Windows 7. I was running a tool to check if the software I had installed is compatible for the upgrade; It turns out that the HP Security Manager is not compatible with W7, and when I uninstalled it I followed a hunch that it might interfere with my account - tried by adding a password and he succeeded!

    I was also able to install Sophos and it works properly now.

    I've always upgraded to Windows 7 in the end, but it was nice to be able to solve this problem (even if it took me Age to understand!) Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

  • How can I set the password for iPad 2 Air to something else than "immediately"?

    I have three iPad, iPad 2, iPad 2 Air and tha iPad Pro.

    My iPad 2 Air gives me the option to "set the password immediately".

    the other two iPads give options, for example, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

    All three iPads running the latest IOS.

    is this a glitch with my iPad 2 Air or are they all like that?

    Why the 'immediately' is the only option? It looks like the other options are missing.

  • How to reset the password for BIOS on Satellite A15-S127

    What is the best way to reset the password for boot/BIOS/CMOS on a Satellite A15-S127? I saw notes on the creation of a parallel loop, but I can't find the technical notes on how to make one. Even if I can make one, it will work on this model?

    I don't remember seeing "Clear CMOS" riders on the map and I heard that remove the CMOS battery does not reset the password if you need access to the BIOS later.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I'm not sure of the A15, but as it is the American version of the A10, the BIOS password reset method should be the same. You need a special adapter PCMCIA. And the bad news: only Toshiba service people have this adapter. He must therefore go to a service partner.

    Thank you
    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
