• Satellite A100 is locked because of the fingerprint BIOS & user password

  Hi all

  I have my A100 to my work, recognition of the TouchChip fingerprint a year ago. On initial installation, I recorded my fingerprint of the windows interface.
  Six months ago I had to reinstall windows XP due to infection by the virus that is not repairable. I have installed Windows XP Home edition and downloaded all the drivers and additional software from Toshiba's site.

  I him didn't record again my fingerprints, and I have NOT activated the TouchChip software this time. My problem was only an annoying message at the time the sign that said «you have not saved your fingerprint again...» "and that's it.
  After a 2 week out of town trip (My A100 was locked in my office, and powered OFF - no connection to the sector) at first start, software TouchChip is back from the dead!

  Screen 'TouchChip Bios Extension' appeared after plugging, and my finger is required to load WXP!
  When connecting user WXP dialogue the additional message "you have not saved your fingerprint again... is always here, but I cannot start the machine without my fingerprint." After some digging later in PowerProtector (?) I found an option that says 'enable or disable the use of fingerprints for system and user password BIOS' or something like that.

  I turn this off, and the machine asked to reboot. It was the last time I saw the office.
  After reboot, the system asks password. BUT I DID NOT PUT ANY SYSTEM OR USER PASSWORD!
  Is this possible?
  I did something wrong?
  What is the solution?
  I'm locked out; I don't know why and how the BIOS is locked with a password (so I can't unlock it).
  Please someone help.

  Best regards, Georgios

  I don't know what exactly A100 computer laptop you have, but it seems that the laptop came with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

  You have installed XP and drivers XP only from the Toshiba page.
  But from my understanding, the BIOS should be updated too! The Satellite A100 series supports a special XP BIOS version. If the BIOS was not updated the laptop might not run correctly.

  I don't know if it could have a negative influence on the fingerprint, but nothing is impossible!
  However, the fact is that the BIOS asks for the password. If you don't know this, you need to remove the other... and this can be done by a service provider authorized in your country.

  Request assistance from technicians and explain the whole story! Maybe they will remove the password for free!

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite M70-129: user password controls access to the system at boot

  Hello

  1. from Toshiba Assist (password utility) I put the supervisor with string (text boards) owner password and then I put the user with chain owner password. But during startup BIOS only prompt you for the user password and his Rosary of owner. User mode many BIOS options are disable including the HW installation option.

  2. when I click on Toshiba HWSetup, he invites supervisor password. But if I get the supervisor (not 100% sure) password, it says invalid password. I also tried to change the Toshiba supervisor password, password help utility but failed.

  3. in the meantime due to virus attack, I had to reformat my laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD, sacrifice all my data. I bought this laptop in a few months.

  4. How can I completely remove the BIOS supervisor password and user. Help, please.

  Hello Anas

  You are right. If there is no possibility to remove the password, the service partner for this but it costs a bit.

  Otherwise I put t agree with you on the common problem on Satellite models, because it is a very serious thing and I really t think Toshiba may allow something like that to happen. If it's truth can you imagine what turbulence will be on the market, or perhaps to the press. I put t really believe in this theory.

• Satellite Pro L10: How to remove the user password

  Hello

  I work for a school and we have a bunch of laptops Satellite Pro L10. I put a supervisor on all laptops password think this problem would be solved (I didn't enter a password each time the machines are enabled), but one of our students seems to have found its way to the HWSetup utility in Control Panel and could save a user password on one of the laptops.

  Alarmingly there seems to be no way to clear the password of the user, even though I have the supervisor password. I can get the BIOS as a supervisor, but the definition of a user password option is grayed out. Can anyone provide a solution for my problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, I think that this problem could be solved by updating the BIOS to the version 2.60 or greater.
  But the problem is that the password has already been fixed.

  I read in the paper of Toshiba that all passwords must be removed before starting the BIOS updates.
  That's why I think it would be advisable to contact Toshiba service partner to remove first the user password, and then update the BIOS.

  You know it's very risky to update the BIOS of the device when the user or any password has been set.
  It of possible that the BIOS update procedure will be interrupted if the password exists.

  Just to confirm that, please switch on the device and press the F2 key.

  If BIOS password has been configured you should NOT be able to access the BIOS...
  In this case, you will need contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country in order to remove the password...

• Satellite A80 135 impossible to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disk

  Hello

  Ive got a laptop 2005 Satellite a80-135 that worked very well until I tried to format the HDD after a performance of Ram boost operation (kingston 1 gb Ram module).

  Just after that, the computer started showing software problems and finally crashed;
  So I decided to reinstall the entire operating system yet. and here, I found the problem I really hope you can help me

  The thing is that I can't format my hard drive to my cd player (with recovery CD in) when the machine is restarted.
  In theory, start the Panel menu should appear after the computer reboot with the C key simountaneously key but nothing happens.

  Thanks in advance
  concerning
  jozze

  Hello

  Simply, the C button the STRANGE start.
  You can also try to press F12 after the laptop has been powered.
  Then the start menu should appear on the screen and then you could choose the ODD (optical disc) in order to boot from the CD.

  If this is not possible, the question is perhaps related to WEIRD malfunction or recovery disk.
  Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.
  You can try to copy the recovery CD using another computer and might try to start using the copied CD.
  If it does not the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

• He can not find the sound controls for Satellite A80?

  Hi, Im a very recent user of a satellite A80, it only 4 days, I played a cd and could not find a graphic equalizer or sound. I enter the area of assistance to Toshiba, but it would not allow me to change the bass and treble, can someone help me with this.
  The cd automatically plays in Windows media player, is there a special program, already installed on the hard disk, CD, or is Windows media player should I use?
  Thanks in advance,
  Deb

  Hi Deb,

  You don't say what version of Windows Media Player you have. However, there will be a graphic equalizer option somewhere, but it can be well hidden.

  I recommend you to download the latest version from the Microsoft Web site.

  The graphic equalizer WMP V9 is available by clicking on an icon in the small window at the bottom left of the screen (if you move the pointer above it is called ' select now playing Options ") which gives a drop-down menu on which the third element is called IMPROVEMENTS. This will be expanded to show the graphic equalizer.

  Of course, you can use other software to read CDs. If you right-click on the CD-ROM item in your workstation
  you will be able to define which program you want to use to play CDs.

• Satellite A80-131: what CD/DVD player is compatible

  Hello

  I need to buy a new DVD - ROM drive because my old is bad!
  I have a toshiba Satellite A80-131 with mati dvd - rom * a UJ - 831S.
  I would buy another drive: toshiba, samsung, pioneer the suport of mati because * a (panasonic) is not very good. But what model is compatible with the old drive UJ - 831S?
  Support does not provide this information to me.

  I have a toshiba HD MK4025-GAS and I want to do an upgrade, but the
  model PA3406U - 1 HA 0 (100 GB 5400 MHz) is very expensive.
  Model MK is cheap.
  But that model MK I buy with 100 or 120 GB?

  HI Ronai,

  Any optical drive slim form factor fits physically to your laptop, but you'll hjave to make sure that you get with the correct connectivity. It will be either master or slave (and sometimes C/salt). This setting is normally carried out by the manufactrer reader and it is not easy to change later unlike the larger disks used in PC where you can return some small switches to change the setting.

  To be sure, you can ask your local authorized Toshiba Service partner which models are fully compatible.

  In regards to your hard drive, you can choose any hard drive manufacturer (the MK designation indicates a Toshiba drive) but I don't know if 100 GB is greater that the BIOS will allow you. I know that 80 GB working fine (I use a Fujitsu 80 GB HDD in my SA30) but I've never tried a higher capacity drive.

  You may also like to consider a faster rotation speed. GAS from Toshiba records with the suffix are usually 4200 RPM, while those with a GAX suffix are quicker to 5400 RPM. MK8025-GAX is a good option.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L300: Supervisor password problem

  I just bought a Satellite L300 and installed all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.

  I created the user password in the wizard from Toshiba and once I configured the SUPERVISOR PASSWORD.

  But when I tried to enter in the Bios after reboot, the work of doesen't password and in the window when trying to change the user password, it also asks supervisor password and it still says: PASSWORD INCORECT.

  What can I do?
  And why this has happened?

  Hi mate,

  I think that in this case only an auhtorized service provider can help you. If you ave you forgot your supervisor or typed wrong password it can only be removed from an ASP.

  Here, on the site of Toshiba, you can find a list of the ASP s:

  Just talk with them a little and they will help you! :)

• Qosmio x 300 15 t drive hard master wrong password, but know the user password

  I don't know if it's in the right forum, but I have a problem with my internal hard drive. I put a main HARD drive password and user password using the BIOS HARD drive. Some time later I discovered I have to tapping the bad HARD drive a master twice on the confirmation, as it is coming from wrong when I try to remove it! I can still access the floppy using the password 'user HDD' both within the laptop, but a HARD one master drive value, I can't remove the locks. This means that I can't get out my drive and put it in a USB caddy or access it from another PC or laptop. I backed up all that is on it, so data loss is not a concern, but is it possible to remove the password if you know the password? I don't want to use this drive in my laptop, and then my laptop if effrondrent on me that the hard drive is basically locked on this laptop unless I find a way to get rid of the master password - that would mean the loss of data in the future to come if the laptop is dead!
  The drive is a TOSHIBA MK1059GSM with firmware 50IDF3DMS (I post the serial number). I would just buy a new drive, but as it is a 1000 GB, and they are expensive, I would find a means to correct the password to disk than to spend the money a brand-new car. Like I said, data loss is not a concern, I just want to go to a fully usable state!
  If anyone knows a solution, please let me know!

  Thank you very much for this useful information, samspin!

• AFP://user: password@server + connect as?

  Hello

  before you move on to Sierra, to connect to my NAS, under Finder-> go-> connect to server, I used to type:

  AFP://user: password@server/share_name

  with no pop-up windows ' connect as '.

  Now, after the upgrade, after the command: afp://user: password@server, a "connect as" windows appears and it's annoying.

  Someone knows how to jump this window "connect as"?

  Thank you

  Daniele

  I think it has something to do with SMB being now the default connection for Sierra. I tried the syntax shown you and replaced "afp" with "smb", but still have the screen connect as . Even when you select the server in the left pane of the Finder, I always have to make a sign in as. It is used to remember how I connected and go immediately to the actions on the server, but no more. Always have to connect as.

  This isn't a laptop problem, but certainly something wrong with your Microsoft software.
  In addition the Toshiba laptops are not delivered with Microsoft Office software.

  I think you should contact Microsoft technical support for more details.

  A hint; I recommend reinstall the MS Office XP again. Do not update from Office 97 to Office XP, but perform a new installation.

  After the new installation, refer to the MS Update site and install all belonging to Office XP updates
