Portege M400 - BIOS password of change within the OS without knowing password?

Hi all

I hope I can get help / advice from someone with more experience with the M400 if possible?

I reinstalled the operating system and the configuration of the biometric security for me, which worked perfectly! However foolishly I also configure startup security (password of BIOS). So when the Tablet is on I can scan my finger and participate without any problem, but now I want to disable the start security. So I booted into the operating system and went to turn it off... but it asks for my password... I forgot that I was a typical end user and have only used my bloody finger!

Anyone know if I can disable BIOS security while in the operating system using security biomentric rather than enter a password? I tried simply by changing the password of admin in the victory of the BONES, but it does not... any ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated!

See you soon

You intervene on password of BIOS that you set in the BIOS?
AFAIK you cannot remove the BIOS password if you know n t the old BIOS password.
In this case that only the Toshiba ASP could help you just the ASP from Toshiba technician could remove unknown BIOS password

  • Portege M400 - BIOS password boot activated by accident!

    I just installed Windows 7 in my Portege M400-104.

    It worked perfectly, but in the last restart, after installing all the drivers and software, and the configuration of my fingerprints, all of a sudden the computer request a password to start! I never entered any BIOS password or I run the help password utility.

    I never used these passwords so I guess it's some defect, one who was accidentally activated by one of the tools I have configured (perhaps?), but I don't know what it is!

    Can someone tell me what default password is possible or how to remove it? (without sending the phone to a service tech).

    Thank you

  • Design Muse & change within the catalyst company

    Hello world

    Apologies from the start for beginners question however, I struggled to find a topic that describes perfectly the relationship between BC and Adobe Muse. I created the site of Muse and satisfied with the appearance of the site, I just realized that when published in British Colombia, I give myself a few restrictions tightened, for example I can't create pages or modules in the admin of BC... the options just aren't there, I can see web forms, I created however. Do I have reason to think that you are not allowed to completely change the content?  Adobe wants you to make the updates within the Muse and then download the site every time. However, when you want to get forms, client and job connections most advanced features I'll need to make specific changes within the BC and among the markup, i.e. which means "enabling editing options.

    Therefore, it means you need to design sites of Muse, pull them in British Colombia and work above, simply from BC? I don't see how you can maintain a link between the Muse and British Colombia because Muse is a software design and British Colombia is a CMS... they do different things.

    The question is, I have set up a range of forms, a secure connection, develop more content in British Colombia and then I want to do a major design change which means ebb in Muse and overwrite everything that has just been setup... y at - there something I'm missing or is this how it works?

    I would appreciate any help on this matter,

    Thank you very much

    Sam

    Hi Sam, you can go into the settings and enable editing.

    The reason for which it is set up to be restrictive is good because they programs like muse create sites, yes they make nice but they are not really functional Web sites. But you'll find this clunkyness tries to use BC as a CMS and creation of the site through Muse. Just as many more securezones, eCommerce, blog... and more will just become increasingly problematic to say the least.

    Hello:

    You will need to order a set of recovery disks.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    Or if you can read your Microsoft W7 product key you can make your own windows 7 installation disc.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Portege Z830 - Bios password change/remove

    When I started my new Portege Z830, it gave me the opportunity during the entire upward, to put a bios password.

    I did, but I am now regret, as I have to present two passwords, bios and windows, can start to do something. As I need the BIOS one, how in the system to edit or delete, now that I don't have access to all of the screens?

    Thank you

    You can delete it in the BIOS options directly or using Toshiba tool in Windows supervisor password utility.

    I recommend to proceed to a complete stop and restart after laptop enter the BIOS settings and delete here.

  • Portege M400 HDD - password and drive upgrade questions

    1. How can I change the hard drive password? the Toshiba utilities allow me to change the password of the BIOS but not the hard drive password

    2. If a secondary hard drive is mounted, it is possible to run the DVD writer as an external Bay? y at - it a connector / converter available?

    3. If Toshiba RAID mirroring is enabled, this speed of disk read time? for example reading speeds could theoretically be doubled by interlacing readings on the two disks - what is the difference of real world performance?

    4. are there restrictions on the internal hard drive?
    I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba (MK1234GSX / 120 GB) and mounted in secondary drive Bay, it works, I cloned the existing overall hard drive and it is even possible to boot from the secondary drive and see both drives.
    However if I replace the internal drive with the new drive, I can see the drives in the bios, but blue-screens of windows at startup: error seems to be that windows does not find the disk...

    When I add the original disk to the secondary drive Bay and start since I also can't get windows to recognize the new drive.
    This doesn't seem to be a simple problem of windows, because windows is happy to start on the new drive in the high Bay, so I ask if there is some restrictions at the end of Windows...

    5 Why have saved my Portege M400 website it says: "sorry, but this product is not available in your region."

    Thanks for any advice,
    Jonathan

    1.) as far as I know the HARD drive password can be changed in the BIOS
    But beware, if you forget or type the HARD drive HARD drive password will be locked and you will not be able to access the HARD disk. In this case, the HD is not more usable.

    (2.) the Ultra Slim bay is a single drive bay that welcomes the reader of CD/DVD or a secondary HARD disk.
    The extension utility from Toshiba Mobile allows the insertion of hot of these modules.
    I found this info in the user manual and following modules can be installed in the Bay ultra slim:
    -Ultra Slim adapter HARD drive Bay: this will allow you to install a HARD drive in option
    -Kit ultra Slim bay DVD-ROM drive or DVD super multi drive kit
    -Disk (SATA) HARD drive kit
    The adapters you will need to order of the ASP

    (3.) I did not notice any differences in speed reading while the RAID has been enabled or disabled. (I used the Qosmio G20 with RAID)

    4.) Please check the manual for compatible HARD drive sizes!

    5.) maybe the M400 is not available in your country or region. But it s only my suggestion

  • Portege M400: Windows XP does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege M400 with Windows XP Tablet Edition. Now, I bought a new 160 GB drive. This disk can be recognized within the location Phase Installation of XP. Do I need a new driver?

    Best regards

    Karl Weber

    Hello

    You have to install and include the Portege M400 RAID drivers.
    It's a bit confusing because little protégé M400 does not support 2 HARD drive, but the RAID driver is required.

    Please check the Toshiba European page and download the RAID driver. During the installation of XP her you have to press the F6 key to include the driver from an external USB FDD drive.

    After you have included the don t RAID driver format HARD drive because this will lead to the driver losing.

  • Portege M400: Is it possible to use the resolution 1400 x 1050 on external monitor?

    The Portege M400 SXVGA (i.e. 1400 x 1050) can support 1400 x 1050 via analog / external monitor? I ask this question because I can't do! Most importantly, he is happy to provide, even if the monitor is a TFT 1400 x 1050 screen is 1280 x 1024.

    I downloaded the latest Intel drivers and screen drivers, and although the o/s reports screen as being happy to show 1400 x 1024, it is not an option when selecting the resolutions.

    Is this a known issue?
    It is corrected using digital?
    Am I stupid?

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that that it will not support a higher resolution. In my opinion, it is according to the performance of the graphics card and the resolutions supported and not according to the used port.

  • Change the assets of the library within the program without affecting cloud related files

    Hello

    I use creative cloud under Mac OS x, and all programs are up to date. I have a two part question.

    1. is there a way to edit a library asset in an Adobe program without affecting the linked file cloud? If so, how?

    2. If it is not possible to do it, what is the best practice to edit a library resource without affecting the linked file? Do I have to include the file in the document? Create a new asset with the adjusted attributes and use this asset?

    As an example of what I'm trying to do, I have a logo in a creative clouds library that I use in an Illustrator document. The asset is black, I want to make the Pantone color blue of the company within the Illustrator, however it won't let me change locally. It seems that I have to open the file in the library, adjust it, save it and use that asset. However, I do not want this asset related to change of color in all other documents I used it. So, what I did is to save an asset separate cloud with the logo like this color. This seems unnecessary and unsustainable. Whenever I have a variant of a cloud asset should not require save me a new version of it for this specific use. My library will get crowded, fast.

    If it is not part of the works the library assets, in my opinion, it should be. Be able to adjust an asset at the local level, even if it's a range a minimum of settings without changing the attributes of the linked file, seems to be obvious.

    Ah, that's useful. I had not tried. At least it's easier than opening assets and by copying and pasting from there. Thank you for your response.

    I wish that it was possible to change the appearance of a related assets without changing the assets in the cloud. This way if something has changed on the assets 'overall' it could be changed and reflected in each document, all keeping this attribute "local." This feature cannot currently? I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

  • How to remove the hard drive on a Portege M400-170 password?

    Hello

    I read a lot of things in this forum, in the manual, I even phoned the Toshiba support and I still have no answer to my problem.

    During the first use of the PC, I set a hard drive password. Now, I want to remove this password.
    The user manual and the forum advise to open the bios configuration, under windows, which is supposed to offer the ability to edit and delete the password. No options, no ability to edit or delete the password.

    The helpline tell me that if the configuration of the bios under windows does not have the ability to modify or delete the password, I have no way to do it (!).

    I need your knowledge and your help :)

    Thank you in advance.

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten
    (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

    Wilkommen!

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then
