• Question about HARD drive password

  Hello

  I think I was hit by a virus and my laptop won't start. Can't find the hard drive at all.
  I tried to boot with a bootable floppy. Always the HARD drive is not found and had a message to check if the HARD drive is connected properly.
  So I did!
  The Lap Top now demand for HDD PSSWORD!

  I live in Poland and would like to know if someone knows something about it... or if there is any Toshiba authorized store for this problem in Warsaw.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• HARD drive password prompt - Satellite 2450-101

  Hello everyone!...

  I am a new user and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions of how I can fix my computer problem?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 that I recently brought a new battery and the adapter because due to the machine is not used for several months, everything was fine for a few hours!... the screen became 'blue' and I restarted the program, but then, I proceeded to get an error message (forgive me, because I don't remember exactly what he said!) who said something about Realteck? and Ethernet cable error and then prompted me to insert system disk?

  Unfortunately after pressing enter the same message kept in view, finally I decided to used the drive recovery to re - start the computer but all I get now is the ' screen of welcome-followed by long pause, followed by a black screen that ask to ceiling "HDD password?

  Does anyone know if it is a fixable problem?

  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Looks like your HARD drive is locked using a HARD drive password.
  I put t know why this password is necessary but if you don t know this password, then your HARD drive is no longer available and you will need to buy a new one.

  Eventually it s simply a matter of HARD drive and, therefore, the laptop crashed before this HARD drive password appeared so I think that you need a new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Out of the blow of sleep when the HARD drive password used on Portege R700

  Hello
  I just got a DLI R700 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit
  I have a very annoying problem because it must be plus 1 minute to accept the password after the resumption of the mode standby. It would be faster out of the hibernation!
  So he wakes up from his sleep in a second, then you can enter the password without any problem but you just can't click on the arrow or press on enter up to what more than one minute. Similarly, it will accept even fingerprints directly at the exit (you get the green check mark) after wake but then expects just over one minute to move in the opening session on the desktop screen.

  Through a process of account, I worked on what was going on...
  Only, it crashes when you have the password on resume from sleep. CV password sleep turn out and he throws back in Office windows in seconds of wake
  This does not happen to resume from hibernation or reboot - scan of fingerprints or password is entered, then goes right into the office in a few seconds
  I started uninstalling software fingerpint, vap, power, toshiba - nothing always security management the same. Then I realized the password HARD drive - which was defined using the security of Toshiba and deleted using the same, has been still enabled in the bios. I have this off and everything works fine. I reinstalled the vap, power management and fingerprint software and everything is always very well, so it was defnitely the HARD drive password.
  Now it's really fake I want to have a RESUME from sleep password and HDD password protection - I have to choose between one or the other, unless I want to wait more than a minute each time he wakes from sleep which is a real pain! So it's clearly a bug in HARD drive password settings, probably in the bios? I have the latest BIOS installed.
  Any ideas on how to get this sort?

  Does anyone else have this problem with be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Or everyone doesn't have this problem, that is to say that they hear HARD drive password AND he wakes with password ok in a few seconds?
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  It's really hard to say something about what I can only say that I can t noticed this problem on my Windows installation.

  By the way: you are using the version Windows from Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

  Theoretically, it could be a problem to install Windows or disc itself are you able to test another installation of HARD drive or windows that you can make sure it is not a software problem?

• Portege S100 ATA HARD drive password issue

  Hey guys

  I just wanted to ask a quick question. I've owned a Toshiba portege S100 computer laptop for about 18 months and he's had a life constantly on hard lol and some stains of coffee etc. Unfortuantly it launched the bucket the other week, so I got out and got a new toshiba laptop :)

  My problem is that I can't access my hard drive? He had a password for HARD drive that I got and now I can't unlock it. I tried several tools to unlock the dam thing and wil it unlock NOOOO! Now, I'm an unhappy man, because all my work was there.

  I have a tool that has several options to unlock HARD disk utility? It requires a login and a tank to fill? I was wondering if someone can help me?

  TY in advance

  Hello

  Unfortunately, if the HARD drive password has been set and if you n t know the password you will not be able to unlock the HARD drive.

  To my knowledge, the HARD drive password can be deleted from the BIOS and any other disk HARD unlock utility will not work.

  In my opinion, there is nothing to my buddy :(

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.

• Reset hard drive password?

  Hello world

  I have an old T60, I intend to give my mother to check e-mail and look at pictures. The laptop works very well (with the exception of a dead screen, I just replaced). I have a small isue, however. There is a hard drive password that appears when I start it. I know the password (which is not the problem), but I would like to remove them before I give it to my mother. When I go into the BIOS, it says that the hard drive and power on passwords are not enabled.

  The drive is a Hitachi travelstar I transferred my x 61 now dead. I could be misremembering, but I think I put the disk password originally hard when the drive was the x 61. However, given that the password is disabled in the BIOS on the T60, why it keep asking me for it?

  Thank you.

  Problem solved. Stupidly, I do not see that the hard disk password was indeed enabled in the BIOS, but for some reason that I was looking at the order of the day (Password Recovery), which was disabled and thought it was about the hard drive password. In any case, I've disabled. Now I have just the problem with chkdsk runs do not.

• On Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive password

  Hello

  I have an almost dead Satellite Pro 6100, I was almost back on its feet, but we wonder a HHD password on start up. Apparently, one of the portable computers security features is "Password HARD drive on request".

  There were ideas! Cannot ask the laptop I can't!

  When the HARD drive password is set, and you start the laptop you must enter this password. Otherwise the drive will not spin.
  The functionality of the HARD drive password is to secure the data on the disc. If you do not have the password: no chance to use the HARD drive.
  So if you can't enter or ask for the password you must swap the HARD drive.

  Buy the way it is always strange if someone "owns" a laptop and one does not know the passwords! If you bought the computer laptop may it is stolen...

• Tecra A6 - how to remove the HARD drive password

  I am repairing a laptop Tecra A6 for one of my clients.

  (2) at - it a solution without having to wipe the hard drive
  (3) Toshiba has tools or the default password that would unlock it

  The hard drive is a Toshiba MK6034GSX 80 GB.

  Any help please?

• Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

  So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
  (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
  but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
  the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

  I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

  But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

  When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

  What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?
