Password disk HARD Satellite 5100

I have a 5100 satellite which, once I try to boot it hangs on the Red toshiba screen and the small blue window in the front shows HDDPassword = I never set a password for it. I tried unplugging all sources of energy but not yet transmitting suggestions?

Hello

If there is really a game of HARD drive password, this is very bad, because there is no way to remove it.

But maybe it's just some sort of failure. Try to reinstall the system or access the HARD drive from another computer.

Good bye

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

    Sounds like a registry problem to me.

    Any help would be appreciated gratefully.

    Hello world

    I recently got an opportunity * Satellite P200D-139 * PSPBNE-004003KS as a gift, it currently has a 80 GB hard drive, but I would like to upgrade to a larger. I searched on the net and forums, etc., but still quite confused.

    can I switch to a larger HARD drive? and what is the maximum size that I can go to so...

    Does anyone know also the best place for such an article...

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I don't know much Equium series, but I guess that's the sata (sata interface) controller. SATA interface, there is no limit of ability so up to 500 GB (even more) should be recognized correctly. The only thing is that BIOS should also support it.

  • Question upgrade L50-A-19N disk HARD satellite

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the standard HDD HGST to a faster SSHD Seagate, and the problem is that in this model L50-A-19N without HARD drive cover, at the bottom of the laptop everything must be removed as in this link: [video | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI]

    My question is can I put the disc by myself, and if not what can I do to replace the disc without losing the warranty. I have read the manual for this model and there is nothing of HDD upgrades here.

    Kind regards.

    > My question is can I put the disc by myself, and if not what can I do to replace the disc without losing the warranty.

    No, I don't think that the HARD drive is the user extensible because _in this boite_ the laptop computer full cover must be removed to replace the HARD drive.

    It looks like the ROM modules can be updated by the user of the laptop. Other parts must be replaced by an approved engineer to keep the warranty valid.
