    I brought it back to the shop, she booted up and immediately, I wonder a password to unlock the drive.

    (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?

    Hello

    The HARD drive password can be removed ONLY if the old password would be known to you.
    If the HARD drive password is not known to you then you will not be able to delete
    In this case, the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer usable.

    It follows the question: ' are you sure? [Y/N] »
    With this screen, the "User password" settings are changed back on "registered."
    No message appears as "Disabled" or empty cell.

    After the confirmation on my side, the laptop starts without asking 'building in HDD Password.
    After restarting the laptop (2nd) ask the requested 'building in drive HARD password '.

    +++ Request: +++

    How is it possible to remove the 'building in HDD Password'?

    Background is to create an image file from the hard drive without the laptop original.
    So all the security settings should be disabled on the hard drive.

    How can I remove HDD password?

    I'm here with the solution...

    1. the HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

    2 using the BIOS CONFIGURATION go to the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
    HARD drive password
    HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
    HARD drive password mode = USER only
    Registered = user password

    3 tab in the "User password" field and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would. If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

    * Or try this: *.

    Enter the BIOS
    arrow to the "Registered" field HARD drive password
    Press
    Enter the existing password and then
    Enter the new password (or leave it empty if you n t want one no matter what password), then
    Meet confirm retype the new password (or leave blank (see above) then)

    That's all...

    You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
    Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

  • 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?

  • Satellite L300-1bw - Question on the removal of the HARD drive password

    Hi, I own a L300-1bw, is seriously damaged (I'm going to scrap it) I had a HARD drive password to set.

    Now, a friend has a C660 - 26G, which I hope to use to remove the password (which obviously I know).

    Now, I plan to install in the C660 and go into the Bios to remove my HDD password, I will then put it it an external USB caddy.

    Does anyone know if this is likely to work.

    * Just to make it clear, it's my hard drive and I know that the password.*

    Hello

    I read in this thread that someone tried to remove the HARD drive password using a laptop from another manufacturer, and it did not work. But he managed to remove the HARD drive password using a Toshiba laptop.

    Usually, the HARD drive password is stored and encrypted on the HARD drive therefore, theoretically, that it should be possible to delete a password KNOWN to the HARD drive using the C660.

    So I would simply test it

  • How to use recovery discs to get rid of the hard drive password?

  • Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
    I discovered the net without success.

    A diagram with being usefully etc.

    kind regards J

    Hello

    I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

    When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

    Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

    But if you still have some questions then request.

  • 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.

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.

  • U430 power and key flashes after removing the hard drive

    Hello world

    I just bought a U430 touch and try to put in an (Sandisk Ultra Plus 256 GB) SSD.

    I followed the instructions on how to open the lid and remove the hard drive as described in the maintenance manual. I created a USB startup disk and changed the order of boot from USB. But when I try to press the Novo key to then proceed with the installation of Windows, the power light and keyboard just begins to Flash slowly. I tried it turn instead to use the Novo key and the same thing happens.

    I tried to do it with and without the key USB is plugged. I also then put the old hard drive and put the top back on and he always does. I thought maybe that just means that it is in mode 'sleep' but by pressing the power or by pressing the keys does not help.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.
