Portege R500: Enter the BIOS with supervisor known password

Hello

I have just taken delivery of a R500 with installed Xubuntu.

I need to get into the BIOS to change some settings. I know the supervisor password and I know that normall pressed ESC, then press F1 to enter BIOS. Unfortunately, I don't get the opportunity to enter the supervisor password - it just directly puts me in the "User" settings

I also have problems to get the F12 boot device settings to work.

The manual suggests that I use the utility Configuration of Windows to address some of the bIOS settings, however - I am not Windows...

Any thoughts?

Weird is... as far as I know you have had installed to access some bios options longer windows.

The problem is that there is no other software then this utility in windows and the common module that can access the hardwarelayer.

So, if you want to change something, you need to use windows... :/

Welcome them

Tip: you can use another HARD disk where you install Windows. Perhaps a good way to keep ubuntu on HDD

    Have you tried to update the BIOS? On the Toshiba site, I can find a newer version that you have right now. Check it!

  • Qosmio X 70-B-102 - how to enter the BIOS

    Greetings.

    Just a simple question. I think so.

    How in the BIOS of my laptop? Boils usually to press the Functionkey right (or combination of both) during the startup. My problem is that when I start my Qosmio, I don't see a message that tells me which key support. Can I be missing something (each time?), but I do not.

    I read the documentation that came with my laptop when I bought it, but couldn't find anything out there on how to enter the BIOS.

    Any info is greatly appreciated.

    Willem.

    Most of the settings can be modified from the Toshiba Control Panel utility, if you really need access the Bios here is the procedure on windows 8:
