• How to password protect the BIOS of Satellite A120?

  I have laptop Satellite A120 240, to set up so I need to know an answer to this before we get too far into the project...
  These laptops should be used by children from the school and as such, we do not want their access to the BIOS.

  The BIOS is ACPI Bios version 3.50. There are two boxes:
  It said the password and the other HARD drive password
  I put the password, but computers are set on the school system using a bootable floppy disk, when I boot on Windows, the password box arrives. I thought that was the password option to keep children out of the bios but it apparently stops their enter Windows too but curiously the computer may reboot when necessary, for the facilities and the password prompt does not appear. It is not practical to put the software to control the BIOS if someone could give me a help in getting this set up, it would be most appreciated.

  I called Toshiba, but help was not so good. It told me to turn on the computer and press ESC then press F12 and follow the instructions on the screen - well the last time I checked the F1 was the way to access the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hi you

  There should be a setting in the bios called 'supervisor password' or similar. This password is only to protect against unauthorized access bios. But no password will be asked when starting.

  If you don t this option in the bios, then try to do a biosupdate and then recheck if the option is present after the update.

  Would appreciate some comments.

  This isn't a direct answer to your question.
  However, the general practice is to password protect you the user account(not the e-mail account), so that nobody else can go to your account and mess with your files etc etc.

  I initially allowed because I wanted to see if there is 'hidden' in my BIOS options (long story... tried to get virtualization extensions to work).
  Now I have to type it every time I turn on my laptop, which is quite annoying.

  Someone has any suggestions, how to get around this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You mean the admin account password, which must be defined during the installation of the OS?
  This password cannot be disabled in the BIOS!

  But if you talk to supervisor password then I would recommend checking the utility called preinstalled Toshiba password tool.
  You should find it in the utility folder Toshiba.

  The password of Toshiba utility allows you to set, delete, and change the password user and supervisor.

  Check it!

  Hi @TICORP,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I have studied your Compaq Presario V3337TU notebook and not wanting to no sound at the start of the BIOS. Unfortunately if you disable in BIOS your sound will work not on the laptop at all.

  Here is a document to restore the BIOS to the previous version.

  Hope this helps you.

  Thank you.
