Password BIOS removing on Satellite M30

Can anyone tell if replacing the hard drive in an old M30 would get around the bios password.

The laptop is not useful shipping to get it repaired at an authorized dealer and my local computer store have not the slightest idea of how to get around him, but I could do with it work?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello

HARD drive Bay is easily accessible because the Bay is placed at the bottom of the unit.
The cover is fixed with a screw. Remove the screws and you will be able to remove the cover of the HARD drive Bay.

Then you could take out the HARD drive.
This procedure is not difficult and I know it s is also mentioned in the user manual.

With respect to the password of the BIOS:
I agree with Feliks; You may need to ask the ASP for the removal of the password.

  • How to remove/reset password BIOS on my Satellite A350D?

    Hi all,

    Unfortunately (but "strangely" especially!) my Toshiba Satellite a350d - 20 k PSALME-01D00RIT does not not recognize the BIOS password. It's the same password never. I used it for 9 months each time in order to allow the start of the laptop.

    However, it is a couple of days since she decided that now that password is incorrect. After having tried and tried, I finally decided to put the HDD on another computer as external drive in order to continue with my work... but here it is the panic: none of the computers I've tried is actually able to read the data on the disk!

    After spending a certain time frozen in panic, I returned to myself and start to ask around to figure out the problem. Someone said that the wrong BIOS password has something to do with the fact that I can not read my disk outside this laptop: you know, it's a kind of average security.

    However, the only thing he cares about me is that at the same time, I can't use my laptop and I can't use my data outside of my laptop.

    So, my questions are:
    (1) this model of laptop has this kind of password BIOS-protection also affecting my drive?
    (2) the BIOS password reset will solve the problem?
    (3) how to reset the BIOS password anyway?
    (4) how to recover my data on this hard drive of reading?

    Waiting for any comment.
    Thank you very much!
    Kind regards.

    Hey guys

    BIOS password is very important security feature and we can not debate on this subject on a public forum, especially the Forum of Toshiba. Following your logic all stolen but with notebook BIOS password can be unlocked.

  • How to reset a Bios in a Satellite M30

    I forgot the Bios password and I want to put a new one in order to start my PC

    Hello

    As far as I know the BIOS password can be removed by the Service partner only. There is a way to do it, but you should know that this is not published because on this path, it will be possible to start each stolen unit.

    Contact authorized service partner and they will remove it. May not cost a lot of money.

    Good luck!

  • Password BIOS reset on Satellite A65-S1062

    Hello

    Anyone know how to reset a BIOS password on a laptop - A65 - s1062? The laptop was purchased in the United States.
    I heard that on laptops, the password is usually stored in an eeprom on the motherboard.
    and I need a programmer/eeprom eeprom reader.

    Or maybe that it's possible to fix it? I live in the United Kingdom about how much it might cost?

    Kind regards
    Wqaw

    Hello
    I had the same problem with an A60, but I Don t think you can read the eeprom on the motherboard. Don t do it, because I messed up my PCB with this procedure. I think that there is another solution, perhaps a short circuit of some tampons but I Don t know for sure, because I had to buy a new motherboard, there is no password on it. :(
    You need to remember: this isn't a card, it s a computer laptop-card mother and you won´t be able to put this eeprom (which is definitely not in a case normal and not readable with an eepromprogrammer-> weird format) in a player of the eeprom.

    I think the best idea will be to give your deck a service partner and they will remove the biospassword (hopefully without damaging your systempcb ;)). I think that this should be a secure way.

  • How can I change/remove password BIOS on Satellite A300?

    I have a satellite A300-1BZ running Windows vista Home premium. For some reason, there intermittentlystarted requesting a password of BIOS or boot when I turn on. I have never put this password myself and have no idea how or where to look to remove it.

    I can turn on if I remove the battery without asking for the password, but if I shut off and turn on again, then it asks again. Advice apprecieated.

    Thank you.
    Chris

    The history is somewhat strange. Cannot set password BIOS only.
    Is anyone else using your laptop?

    > I can light up if I remove the battery without asking for the password, but if I shut off and turn on again, then it asks again.
    To be honest I don t understand this. If you just understand that you can use your laptop and bypass the BIOS password if you turn the notebook on power only, right?
    But with the battery inside it start and ask BIOS password?

  • Satellite M30: How disable the BIOS boot password?

    Hello

    Before my vacation, I activated the startup password in the Bios. Now I want to turn this off, but it does not work. In the Bios, I can go to the Security tab, but I can't change the settings with the F5/F6 key or space. A beep is all I get. Entering on this point, I wonder to set a new password.

    Anyone know how to disable the password for a Satellite M30? Please note that I have not forgotten my password, I can always start the machine.

    THX,

    Werner.

    PS On this forum, I don't see any topic title, only the name of the authors. Is always normal? It is very convenient that way, but maybe it is related to my pc.

    Hello

    I found a step by step explanation to clear a BIOS password:

    "Turning on the computer from a State"off"with the ESC key. You are asked "password =". "

    Enter the password, and then press ENTER. The unit will display: "the valid password is entered, the system starts up. Check the system. Press key (F1). »

    Press the F1 key. This will start the device in the BIOS Setup mode.

    Using the arrow keys or tab, move to the password field and select REGISTERED.

    Press the SPACE bar, enter the password, and then press ENTER. For now, the password field is transformed into NON REGISTERED. »

    Hope this will help you.
    Good bye

    is there anyway to reset the BIOS password?

    BIOS password is characteristic of very important security and the methods and means how to remove it can be themed on the public forum.
    Every stolen laptop could be 'unlocked' so this theme is "dangerous."

    Anyway, what you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can cancel BIOS password for you.

  • Satellite M30 - user not allowed to update the BIOS

    I have a Satellite M30 (204, according to me, model 60 GB 1.6 GHz) and I try to update the BIOS but get the error message the "the user is not allowed to update the bios. The reason why I'm trying to update it is I just bought a 250 GB hard drive, but the BIOS does recognize that 128 GB and I guess the most up-to-date BIOS will allow the drives of this size, although I have not found any documentation for precise to say so be it.

    Someone at - it a patch to update the BIOS (I don't think I have a usb floppy drive drive anywhere) or to access the full capacity in other ways? Thank you.

    Ainsworth

    Hello

    could you please tell me what operating system you´re to help? I guess that Windows Xp...

    Usually, the update of the BIOS routine has absolutely NOTHING to do with the capacity of your hard disk drive. You are working with a limited user account? If not, I suggest right clicking on the BIOS update file and choose the option "Run as..". Subsequently a windows pop up and you ask under which user you want to run this program. Click on the "Next user" radio button and choose the administrator. If you have a password for your admin account and then type in, otherwise it should start automatically.

  • Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

    Hi all

    I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

    1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
    2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

    The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

    The Centrino platform consists of:
    an Intel Pentium M processor
    a chipset Intel 855 of the series
    an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

    If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

    Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?
