Password supervisor with Tecra S3

When you try to choose (with F12) a boot device different 1 hard drive (for example CD/DVD, USB, SD-Card key), the system starts the only construction-shaped hard drive. Trying to get into the BIOS (with ESC followed by F1), you can see just a tiny selection just in the 1st page of the BIOS.

All other information (e.g., priority/boot sequence) are not accessible. It is NOT defined a user password or a HARD drive password.
When you press the INSERT key before you turn on the laptop, it asks a supervisor password. Someone has obviously set it and I did. With the normal Toshiba Utilities (for example, "help") it is not possible to remove it, also the LPT-Port connector or the Boot disk (1 5 bytes of the 2nd amended sector) does not help.

What can solve this problem.

Thank you

Hey,.

First the supervisor password can only be removed from an official authorized service provider. T, you can remove yourself if you n t know.

In addition, the supervisor password is necessary to change some settings in the BIOS and it doesn t allow to boot from another device.
By the way: AFAIK ESC should allow access to the BIOS.

    Hello

    Do you mean the HARD drive password or the supervisor password?

    (1) the password disk HARD unknown cannot be deleted, and in this case, the HARD drive would be useless.

    (2) the supervisor password is NOT stored on the HARD drive. In this case the replacement of HARD drive won't help you. The unknown supervisor password can be removed by Toshiba service engineer only.

  • Password entered with the fingerprints - HP protect tool/Password Manager

    Hi all!

    I use HP protect tools and Password Manager and password authentication Windows and fingerprint authentication. I have problems with fingerprint authentication.

    When I try to enter the password automatically with the activation of the footprint of the password is not entered. The password is entered if I click on the Password Manager icon select fill in the data of logon and authentication with my Windows password. It never came with my fingerprint authentication (even if I get a green check mark on the icon so nect I drag my fingerprints).

    I am administrator on my PC and have registered three fingers, I am trying to use for authentication. I'm really confused why Windows authentication, it works well, but the fingerprints does not have the password. I find no more errors that suggest the registration of fingerprints does not work.

    I already used the password on another HP Manager but I never had this problem. The password has been entered always automatically when I spent my finger.

    I use an EliteBook 8460p with Windows 7.

    Looking forward to your help!

    Kind regards

  • Password Subvi with enter/return key control

    Hi all, I am a self-taught user of LabVIEW. I hope that someone here can help me with this problem that's driving me crazy.

    I'm doing a small password. Only by entering the correct password, a certain function is executed when running. My code was running without problem until I realized that by pressing the 'Return' key in the added password prompt a new line; as a result, the user is forced to use the OK button. I wanted to capture the return key so that it works as a "standard" password prompt

    That's what makes me crazy: my code works perfectly if I single step it. If I run the code (CTRL + R) when I press 'Return' the password is not accepted. A probe tells me that the password is always empty in this case. If I use the OK button that everything works.

    I've implemented my password Subvi with a small state machine, so that the OK button and the back button run to the same State. In the same way, I grab also ESC, to work as the button cancel, and works smoothly. I also use the feature to discard to abandon the return key so that my rope does not get a new unwanted additional line. I can't possibly think any race condition that can make my code only works when you browse it slowly, step by step.

    I'm completely at a loss, and I hope that someone can help me! Thank you!

    PS: I have included only the VI because the nature of the state machine I should post a bunch of screenshots. I can do it tomorrow if you need me.

    Make a right click on the text field where you enter the password and select "update as you type"

    Hello

    Usually, the HARD drive password should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    The fact is that the HARD drive password is stored in a special area of the HARD drive and should not be an issue this motherboard has been replaced.

  • Removal of password BIOS on Tecra M11 - 11 M

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M11 - 11 M, which was blocked from password. I stripped the computer laptop and removed the BIOS during 10 min but the rest password battery still IE on the screen it still reads PASSWORD - *.

    There is no way to get into the BIOS through a combination of keys.
    There are no markings or letters on the motherboard whether ie: C35 - C36 or J12 - J13 out short which would in most cases to remove the password and allow access to the BIOS.

    The technicians out there with any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Some people asking for help with a password of bios are not thieves but crazy just forgetful.

    As far as I know Toshiba uses several methods to remove BIOS password. On commercial machines like Tecra and Portege method is not the same as the Satellite models.
    Remove battery BIOS works on desktop computers, but not on mobile machines.

    Mobile machinery must have better protection due to the fact that can be stolen easily and it is very important against a misuse.
    > Some people asking for help with a password of bios are not thieves but crazy just forgetful.
    S OK, but you can't wait this BIOS password removal method will be described on the public forum. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they will do it for you. All you have to do is show an invoice validates and prove that you are the real owner of this Tecra machine.
