HP ProBook 650: Remove BIOS password at startup after re-imaging ProBook

Hi all!

I've been looking around for a solution to this problem I saw but did not find a thread that relates to my specific situation, so help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed HP ProtectTools on a laptop and it set the BIOS to require a password before starting the system. I decided that I didn't want the installation and since it's a new image of windows, a new image would be a quicker and easier solution to this problem. However, the BIOS security features remain still and now all previous software it has been used for the configuration of the BIOS security is no longer on the laptop.

How can I go about removing this security feature now that I gave in the laptop image?

Thank you

power on password bios can be reset or overrided.

If you are currently invited for a power on password and you are not able to pass it, try entering random passwords until you get the msg disabled system followed a code, reply back and I will give you the code for override.

If you however want to reset it, you may need to open the case in order to reconnect the CMOS battery on the motherboard because it's the only other way to get rid of it and start again.

  • Equium A100-338 - how to remove BIOS password?

    Insalled Ubuntu 9.10 on the laptop when it was released last month after I had used it fine until last week when suddenly in asked me the password of the bios at startup. I can't start, load into the bios or where I start since the change.

    I never set a password on my bios or had any reason to go in there and have never had this problem with Ubuntu Linux on any device in the past. The internet has not helped either, nor has the user guide that tells me to go to the chapters that do not exist and the website holder that has dead and then links says me to go to curries, as I bought it from there.

    I'm covered by technical support curries until next year, but they insist that I should pay for the solution, insinuating that it's my fault.

    Any information would be massively appreciated. :)

    Please tell me someone how to remove password?
    Thank you.

    Computers notebooks are portable computers that can be easily stolen and protection of BIOS is the functionality of security very important which must offer the maximum on the security of the data (to block the OS startup).

    All laptops Toshiba don t have the same mechanism for BIOS password removal. Some of them are very complicated and even service cannot be removed without contacting Toshiba directly. So all of these methods, you can find on the net, especially with the battery CMOS removal will not work. It would be too easy for thieves to remove the BIOS password and have full access to the operating system.

    You can check all these documents posted by rotemanq and Googling all about you can find hundreds of similar documents, but they won't help you much.

    Best option for you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they can do for you. It costs a little but they will remove it for you.

  • Equium L10-300: how to remove BIOS password which was never put

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop Equium L10-300 which has just begun to ask a market BIOS password, which is strange, because you never have the value. I read in these forums and have found that the other models had the same problem.

    Now first of all, I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this without sending it away and if not then who can I send it to and the repair will be free?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I didn t notice such BIOS password on my laptop problem.
    However, if the BIOS has been set and that you can not connect, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the removal of the password! Without the help of ASP, you will not be able to use the laptop.

    But I can't say much about the cost. I think it could be done for free. Just call the guy and explain your situation.

    Hello

    Your story is a bit confusing.

    But let's talk about facts;
    Firstly if you have set the BIOS password, you should be able to remove it in the BIOS if the BIOS password is known to you.

    If the BIOS password is not known to you, you will not be able to withdraw without further support from the authorized Toshiba maintainer. The BIOS password must be removed using a special procedure and tools and it can be done ONLY by an ASP.
    I think it should be clear now.

    So if you want to remove the BIOS password, and the password is not known to you, you need the ASP and you will be charged for this.

    Unfortunately, you will need the help of ASP.

    Welcome them

    Hi guys,.

    I have a laptop, it's a Toshiba Satellite C660D-15F
    Part No.: PSC0UE-02R00MFR

    At the start it blocks on password (Bios), but the owner does not remember it.
    I know there are 2 knots on the motherboard to the jumper to reset the BIOS.
    Can someone tell me what is the label of these winks or give me a solution to unlock the BIOS?

    Thank you very much

    BIOS password is very important security feature and we can not discuss this topic on the public forum. Why protect my phone when someone who steals, he can post it on the forum of Toshiba might ask how to remove my protection?

    BIOS password must be removed by Toshiba approved technicians after verification if you are the real owner.

    Option 1: open, you look at your motherboard laptop case. Locate the CMOS jumper, that's close to the battery. Claire remove the shunt and turn on your PC with in 5 to 10 seconds and turn it off. Reinsert the shunt to there correct place and try to turn to go to the BIOS, if there will be a password box will appear.

    Option 2: You must open your laptop and look at the motherboard and locate the CMOS battery. Just delete it with in 5 minutes to clear the BIOS password.
