Portege R200: How to reset the fingerprint reader?

• Portege R400 - how to get the fingerprint device to HDD unlock

  Portege R400 model PPR40E-00901LEN

  I've had this laptop since 2007 new (approximately). I put the BIOS and disk passwords HARD and the biometric to unlock the BIOS, HARD and Vista drive. It worked well until recently. Result of an incident when someone tried to crack into the machine, it unlocks is no longer the HARD drive

  The attacker confessed to the use of BACKSPACE to work around the footprint digital, correctly guessed the password of BIOS and going on to make several attempts to enter the HDD password.

  Now when I try to access the computer by using the fingerprint reader, it unlocks the BIOS ok, so he remembers clearly to me. However, it is not open HARD drive. Apparenlty the fact that 3 + failures to enter the master password disk HARD text forces text of this password and no biometric entry. At least, there seems to be something like that.

  My questions are

  (1) in these circumstances, the BIOS anterio-rite the biometric to forget the HARD drive password?

  (2) or is still piometric my disk HARD but the BIOS password feature is not asking him?

  (3) if 3 or something similar, so this password is always in the biometirc device, how to tell the device to provide this password?

  Please note that I can't in the BIOS right now, because do not unlock the HARD drive prevents the POSITION to perform.

  Of course, I know what I really need to do is type the HARD drive password. Unfortunately in about four years, I forgot it. I hope that I can get into the BIOS if I remove the HARD drive physically, but wonder if there is something else I should do first in order to avoid making things worse.

  Thanks to hope

• Reset the fingerprint reader after you remove all the prints/pw does not

  Yes Im a fool, but is anyone know how to reset the reader of fingerprints for U200-115. I deleted my fingerprints after reviewing the password but now can't get to do something that the password does not work. I was informed that a BIOS password reset is the only way (i.e., a visit to the people service Tosh).

  Does anyone know a work around?

  Unfortunately there is no work around. The BIOS password can be removed by only authorized service provider. I really don't understand why the password still exists but ASP is your last chance.

  The closest contact with ASP and they will do it for you. If you need addresses and phone numbers please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro S500-10F: how to disable the fingerprint reader

  We just purchased a portable Satellite Pro S500-10 which has the fingerprint reader. Does anyone know how we can disable this facility of the laptop, we do not remove program only disable the installation.

  Thank you

  You can disable it in Device Manager. If it's not ideal, I guess you could send the laptop to an ASP to have the fingerprint reader physically disconnected.

• Tecra A10 - how to disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked

  Hello

  I use a Tecra A10 with a 2 Express Port Replicator.
  How can I disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked and still use it when undocked?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible.
  Following this logic, it will be possible to have access to protected files when the laptop is on docking station.

• How to fix the fingerprint reader of the problems of compatibility with WIN 7 Sony Vaio VGN-SZ260P

  The fingerprint reader does not work on my laptop Sony Vaio VGN SZ240P since I've updated from Windows XP.  There must be a problem somewhere online.  Everyone fell on this problem yet? And if so how do solve you this problem?

  Hello Jason,

  This will be a little problem. The only available fingerprint driver is for XP, the operating system on this computer comes with. There is a driver at this location: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNSZ240P&upd_id=2134&os_group_id=13 which works on Vista with "loss of functionality.

  So, if you have a 32-bit Windows 7 system (it will not work in a 64-Bit environment) do the following: download the XP / Vista driver and install it. Once its installed go to the program icon or the file itself and right click on it, selecting Properties in the window that opens. When the new window opens, go to the top row of tabs and select the Compatibility tab. When that shows check the box run in compatibility and mode in the drop-down list that appears, select Windows 7. Then select Apply and after that finishes select apply to all users. That brings up the same menu for all users - check the compatibility in the Windows 7 box, click on apply, then click OK and click OK.

  If something does not work as I've described, post here with details and I'll try to work through it, with you. Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• Pavilion dv7 6051ea: how to get the fingerprint reader works on Windows 10

  Just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro. The fingerprintreader has stopped working. I find the possibility to set up, but the installation is grayed out as long as no driver available. Can't find one on any forum support? Anyone else having this problem and sorted it please?

  On August 11. I've been running Windows 10 updates on a daily basis since the upgrade and now after a reboot of the fingerprint reader has started working? and remembered my impression as well. I guess that Microsoft dropped in a fix for this (which works for me) then maybe something to try?

• Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

  Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
  (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
  (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

  Background:
  (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
  (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
  (3) a week later the HD has no
  (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
  (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

  I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

  Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
  I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

  Hello

  I have seen words about your question.
  AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
  Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
  But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

  However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
  You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

  PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
  I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01

• HP Probook 470: How to remove the fingerprint reader

  How can I completely remove the software from the fingerprint of my Probook 470 scanner? It always requires 10 to 20 shots before he let me. It is a good idea in theory but boring in practice.

  I could exit the fingerprint enabled option and just ignore it - but unfortunately it is bloatware. Whenever I go to the connection, it keeps the box frozen for several seconds, and then it will allow me to start typing my password.

  I would go back to this nice simple Windows 7 connection that the HP software has hijacked unfortunaetly.

  Sucess. I have it solved, but it is quite difficult.

  First of all, I have tried to uninstall HP customer Security Manager but got the following error:

  error 1325.hewlett - packard is not a valid short file name.

  To work around this, I went into control panel / Device Manager and disabled the driver CD-ROM/DVD-ROM (no! I don't know why).

  Then, I tried once more to uninstall HP Client Manager Security. This time he says that I need to first uninstall the following:

  -HP Device Access Manager
  -HP File Sanitizer
  -Recovery of stolen computers HP
  -HP Drive Encryption

  Then I uninstalled the four of them in turn, rebooted and then uninstalled the HP customer Security Manager - which this time did actually uninstall.

  The result has been successful. When I start my PC now, I can type my password instead of having to wait a few seconds while the HP bloatware gets himself sorted immediately.

  Oh, and I also re-enabled my CD-ROM/DVD-Rom driver.

  Weird.

• Portege R200: How to disable the Touchpad in cmd

  Hallo Forum,

  When you work with an external mouse, it makes sense to disable the touchpad and I know, where to click, to turn it off,
  but it would be nice to me now, whether and how one could do cmd, because I've set up some profiles in
  ConfigFree and I want to use the 'programm start after changing the profile' option to toggle the touchpad.

  ayone have any idea?

  Beste regards,
  Martin

  I have to grin read your post because I always surprised questions and users who want m did something very complicated.

  All cell phones are supported on FN + F9 key combination that turns the touchpad on and off.
  The use of this key combination takes about 1 sec, maybe 1.5 sec ;)

  So why he s so annoying by using the FN + F9 key

• Configuration required to use the fingerprint reader

  I have a dv6tQE delivered later this week and I'm looking into how to configure the fingerprint reader.  I'm interested the FR for projecting my fingerprint with the plethora of passwords that I now keep in a Word document hyperlink.  Too much memorize.  I'm not interested in the security feature that requires a logon or a fingerprint whenever I start my computer.  I usually push on the button and then perform several tasks to something else and come back to the computer, wait until it is ready to roll without the need for an additional activity on my part.

  The User Guide PDF downloaded States in part:

  "In order to use the fingerprint reader, you must configure a user account with a password on the computer. This account allows you to log on to your computer with a simple touch of the designated finger. Alternatively, you can use the fingerprint reader to fill in the password on Web sites and other programs that require a login. See using the fingerprint software for instructions. After you have created your identity from fingerprints, you can configure single sign-on... »

  It will be necessary for me to set up a user account for my login or can I skip that part and use the NOF for passwords only?  In addition, there is a link to the FR software guide?

• Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work

  I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere.  Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue?  Thank you!!!

  Hello:

  Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.

• Portege M700: Cannot use the fingerprint reader after update for Firefox 3

  Hey

  I have a Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet and with the truesuite software on a fingerprint reader and password Bank plugin.

  It's all working fine and dandy with firefox 2.
  Then last night I went and updated for firefox 3 and now I can't log in to Web sites with the fingerprint reader.

  No error messages, nothing. I can say that the truesuite or Bank password software is not detecting firefox 3. I've updated to the latest version that I could find, 2.0.2.0.

  I found this thread by telling me the process of update of firefox it breaks and I should completely uninstall and reinstall firefox, which I did.
  That didn't fix it.

  Then I completely uninstalled and reinstalled truesuite. That did not help either.
  Its still broken.

  Anyone know a workaround or a way to fix this, or should I wait and see if there is an updated version of the password database? (I find it unlikely because this isn't really a standard program)

  Hello

  I think that the new Firefox version is not fully tested and possibly it s not completely compatible with the 3rd party applications.
  I remember the same problems with older versions of firefox. Finally, it has been resolved.

  But why you don t use internet explore? As far as I know the fingerprint works without a problem

  In any case if you want to continue to use the browser firefox 3 so I think that the only solution is to wait for an update.
