  Can I put it, I change it. I just can't take it off.

• How do I change or remove the password disk HARD on my Tecra A9

  Hi all

  I looked for where I could, but didn't find any indication at all, so I'm asking here.

  I have a Tecra A9 in need of resettlement, what I like to do for me.
  I have a very good password on the HARD disk which I do not wish to give. So I want to change it or remove it completely.

  Please someone, how do I do? In the BIOS, I don't see that it has been defined, but all what I try, I can not change or get rid of it.

  Maybe I should add that since the original installation of the PC it was years ago and I don't remember not the 'Administrator' password.

  Everything is under control. I know the 'controller' password and have already successfully removed the BIOS password. Smart TPM is disabled.

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the BIOS?
  My BIOS contains an option for the HARD drive password parameter.

  But just a question; Why do you want to set the HARD drive password?
  Is this really necessary?

  You need to know if the HARD drive has been fixed, and that something will go wrong, I mean that if you would forget the HARD drive password, the HARD drive would be locked and is no longer usable.
  So be careful with this password if you want to know my opinion; Don t pay.

• Satellite A200 - password disk HARD 'frozen' in the BIOS

  Satellite A200 computer laptop does not recognize the HARD drive.
  Reconstruction of the disk with Vista or XP - Pro (on another machine) have proved to be unsuccessful.

  Originally, continually blue machine armored and quicky restarted, Machine was infected by the virus and Trojans that I believe have damaged BIOS. The BIOS now appears to have 'frozen' a HARD drive password (unknown) which transfers any HARD drive new - perpetuating the problem.

  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome, thanks.

  Hello

  Usually, you should be able to remove the HARD drive password in the BIOS.
  You have to put the old HARD drive password must use ENTER to put an empty string as a new HARD drive password and you will need to confirm this
  Save the changes and restart again

  If this procedure is not possible or does not work then there must be something wrong with the BIOS, module ROM BIOS or motherboard.
  Maybe an update of BIOS/reflash could be useful, but generally all passwords must be removed before attempting a BIOS updates, which could be risky
  I think you should get in touch with a local ASP and need to ask for help, maybe the technician will be able to reflash the BIOS

  Welcome & good luck

• Satellite Pro A120: Reset password disk HARD known through the BIOS

  Satellite Pro A120SE
  HARD drive password is known - no problem.
  According to Toshiba, the HARD drive password can be reset in the BIOS.

  By following the instructions in the documentation, a new password is entered, but a 'beep' is returned and it is clear that the password has not been changed.
  A support call was placed about 2 months there with the dealer who couldn't solve the problem. The dealer contacted Toshiba support helpdesk who told them that HARD drive password reset should be possible and they had no explanation or solution.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you very much

• Tecra M5 - can't change password disk HARD using the security help after recovery?

  Unfortunately, this weekend I had to do a lot of 'recovery' of my M5 - PTM51A-0RM05P, with Windows XP SP3.

  Now nor security help or Toshiba Assist and safety, let me change or remove my HDD user password that I enter on startup.

  I don't use a BIOS password.

  In case of security help, show section under Startup type HARD drive password, HARD drive password icon is "green circle". This confirms that I have an active HARD drive password.

  But when I click on the "key" icon, there is no display password and not the ability to delete.

  When I click on the link of the green circle resulting value password user window allows me to enter a password, but that the area under "to make the same string at the same time that the HARD drive password is grayed out.

  I was given a Toshiba Satellite M55-S329 but the lady he had in a closet for 5 +? number of months, and when it was stored by her now ex-husband, he failed to note or store the HARD drive PASSWORD or give it to his wife so that she could use the laptop.  I would like to clean it up and give it to a grandchild but I can't even understand how a clean boot by using the restore disc came with the computer. It does not have any reader until I give him the password. Any suggestions?
