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

    The HARD drive password can be removed from no one. Sorry this isn't a joke, it's done.

    Hello

    I was not the 'end user' when the problem arises that he was a friend.

    When the computer has been listening and music recording, it became slow and finally stop reacting.
    The user then restart windows XP, this leads to a scandisk at startup phasis.
    The seams of scan to stop nearly 80% (long, who?, without progress) and the iddle computer has finally stopped with an empty battery.

    When restarting ask a HDD password?

    Is this a known reason? a solution?
    I have to take into account that the drive is dead?

    Thank you for your answers?

    Hello

    As far as I know if the HARD drive password has been set and you don t know this password, so there is not much to do. It is not possible to remove it. This is why a new HARD disc has to be ordered.

  • Cannot set the cookie with owa_cookie at APEX

    Hi all

    I'm trying to set a cookie in the same way as APEX done on the login page:
    Process page
    Type: PL/SQL anonymous block
    Point process: submit now - after calculations and Validations
    begin
    owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
    owa_cookie.send(
        name=>'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE',
        value=>lower(:P101_USERNAME));
    exception when others then null;
    end;
    I am able to read this cookie with owa_cookie.get and I'm able to show the value on the page.

    However, when I try to put a similar code on the actual page, it is not set the cookie. I get the message of success of the process of page , but there is no set of cookie. I tried this example hard-coded:
    begin
    owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
    owa_cookie.send(
        name=>'TEST_USERNAME_COOKIE',
        value=>'Test_User');
    exception when others then null;
    end;
    I read the documentation of OWA_COOKIE, but that did not help. I also couldn't find anything in the user's Guide for the APEX.
    Can someone give me a clue on whqt that may be the reason?

    I work with DB 11 g and APEX 3.1.0.00.32.

    Thanks in advance, Wouter

    Wouter:

    I suspect that the HTTP header is re-initialized somewhere after your process page sets the cookie. Your page is supposed to the branch back to itself or branch to another page? Add these 2 lines of code for the cookie setting process. Adjust the value of "page_to_branch_to" as being suitable.

    apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
    owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:page_to_branch_to:&SESSION.');

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox

    My younger sister run my firefox just to this afternoon (she origin use IE), and she saw something that is not visible. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox?

    Another option is the master password + extension.

    You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.

    As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

  • Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption. STOP: 0x0000007B__Blue screen

    I have a Vista 64 bit OS.  I tried to do a system restore to the last checkpoint to interrupt a Service Pack.  Restore failed (don't remember exact error), now when I try to boot Vista, I get a message saying to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  STOP: 0X0000007B
    My questions are:
    (1) do I need Vista recovery CD in order to enter the menu advanced at this stage startup options?
    (2) if I decide to upgrade to Windows 7 now, made the stop: 0x0000007B have a problem with that?  or could I fall in Windows 7?
    Vista 64 gave me many problems and I think its time to make him... Thanks in advance... Mark

    Hi Markgod5,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    It seems that the hard drive is damaged if we get this error message to running chkdsk.

    You can start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and see if you can start.  Then run the chkdsk command.

    To do this follow these steps:

    (a) restart your computer if it is running.

    (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

    (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

    (d) use the up/down arrow keys to select Safe mode with command prompt.

    (e) in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /R and Chkdsk /F

    Using recovery DVDs, you cannot switch mode winRE (Windows Recovery Environment) to run chkdsk. You need DVD full version (Win 7/Vista) or Vista repair disk.

    You probably won't be able to install win 7 because the problem is with the hard drive and chkdsk should be run for the error.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.
