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
Catherine

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.

Welcome them

    The screen locks five seconds (you can change this interval) after it turns off automatically, or immediately if you press power to turn off the screen. Use Secure unlock if you want to force a PIN or a password to unlock the screen.

    When you connect to windows mail, I accidentally hit the "remember password" button. How can I change it back then I must enter a password each time I connect?

    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.

  • How to reset the BIOS on Satellite C660D-18W?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-18W, and suddenly I got the message that I need to enter the password when I start the computer, I tried to remove the bios battery, no luck, I try to find out how I can reset the bios, still no luck, can anyone help me?

    It is unclear to me that BIOS password can be set only and it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    The fact is that the BIOS password can be removed by authorized personnel only. As far as I know there are several ways to achieve this, but it cannot be discussed in the public forum.

    Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can do for you.
