How do reset you the BIOS password?

Hello

I have a Sony laptop where the hard drive gone bad. It has a BIOS password on it. I replaced the hard drive and went into the BIOS to change the boot device priority. Now my BIOS password won't work, and after three failed attempts, it gives me a 16-digit hash and ask you a unique password. There is of course a way to generate a unique password based on this hash table, but I've looked everywhere and it seems that there are people who know how do it, but none of them don't tell you exactly how. I called Sony support and they told me I had to send the laptop to get the password removed, but I don't really have time for that. How can I generate a unique password and access my machine again?

Thanks in advance.

Hi dbarney.

A resolution for this problem is available, but for security reasons, this resolution can only be provided by a telephone support representative.

You can contact Sony phone Support here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-contacts.pl?mdltype_id=24

Note: To make sure that only the owner legitimate is granted access to the computer, a copy of the proof of purchase will be required at the time of the call.

  • L50D-B - reset of the Bios password satellite

    Model: Satellite L50D-B-17J
    Serial number: YE031145C

    So, one of my cousins has managed to put a BIOS password on his cell phone and then forgot the password. Now, I was invited to see if I can fix it.

    First of all: this notebook, while relatively new, is essentially fixed or trash, she already has a new. I already opened it upward, so the warranty has technically been canceled already. All this means it does not matter too much if he breaks in the process of fixing. They say that they have contacted support and not really gotten an idea clear of what to actually do, and I'd rather not have to worry about support (the Support System site is not even working for me right now).

    Long story short:
    Is it possible to reset the BIOS password on this model? I understand that it is possible on many laptops to do by removing the CMOS battery. Now, this model does not have a (I opened it and found no one). Instead, I understand that the newer models may have a circuit that can be shorted to possibly reset the BIOS? Is this correct, and if so, what is it?

    Once more, the laptop is practically acquired anyway, so if possible, I'd take the chance to do it myself, if it's at all possible.

    Well, the circuits in question would be JCMOS1 riders normally located under the RAM. Bridge them while the power is turned off the first. If it does not then on the screen by removing the battery and drive, press and hold power for 10-15 seconds, then hold down Fn + ESC, holding down it to the bottom of the plug in the power lead and switch on the device. When the fan starts release Fn + ESC. If you see a post screen then bridge JCMOS1 jumper then and that should reset the BIOS. Unplug the unit and hold down the power button for 1 minute and then plug it back again. It should start up with asking to specify a password. If you could not to post, then refer to the manual to see what it flashes the procedure. The buttons used for flashing procedure will be the same to make this post. Only fill the JCMOS1 jumper while the machine is running if you see the post screen, no other time. An easy way to bridge them would be to use a paperclip and bend it on and use the ends of it.

    HI Robdma01,

    I uninstall applications CS6, and then use the lighter tool to ensure that all got deleted. Leaving unattended update applications should not cause this kind of problem. When you reinstall / update I would try to do so under different conditions, disable any antivirus software that is running and try to install within a new user account with administrative rights.

  • How do reset you the time-out of the user for the connection of MISTLETOE on a 3524P?

    By default, apparently of 5 min, is too short for me.  I tried several CLI commands, I found online, but apparently not the right one.  This in particular seems like it should work, but I get a response from the unrecognized command.

    Console (config) # ip http timeout policy 1200

    Okay, I think I'm going to itt.  My mistake was misinterpreted your instructions.  I thought "console line" took care of telnet also.  I see now that I need to use "telnet line" separately.  Learn about 'Show the line' helped me understand.

    Thanks again.  If the behavior of Exchange today timeout I mark as resolved.
