Satellite 1410: HARD drive password comes up.

I HAVE A SATELLITE 1410 - HE HAD SINCE NEW, IS A FEW YEARS OLD NOW.

PROBLEM IS - WHEN I START HIM TO THE TOP OF THE TOSHIBA SCREEN COMES UP, THEN A MESSAGE "HARD DRIVE PASSWORD" APPEARS ALSO TO RESTORE DISKS DO NOT WORK.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS MEANS THE DISK HARD IS DEAD OR IS THERE ANOTHER FAILURE

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

THANKS GAVIN

Usually, this message appears if the HARD drive has been achieved with the HARD drive password.
The HARD drive password is not removable. Otherwise, you will not be able to delete it if the password is not known to you.
Unfortunately, the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer usable.

  • On Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive password

    Hello

    I have an almost dead Satellite Pro 6100, I was almost back on its feet, but we wonder a HHD password on start up. Apparently, one of the portable computers security features is "Password HARD drive on request".

    There were ideas! Cannot ask the laptop I can't!

    When the HARD drive password is set, and you start the laptop you must enter this password. Otherwise the drive will not spin.
    The functionality of the HARD drive password is to secure the data on the disc. If you do not have the password: no chance to use the HARD drive.
    So if you can't enter or ask for the password you must swap the HARD drive.

    Buy the way it is always strange if someone "owns" a laptop and one does not know the passwords! If you bought the computer laptop may it is stolen...

  • 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 U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-PSU40E. I put the HARD drive password to test this optoins in BIOS. It woks fine. After that, I remove the HDD password, but when BONES start to start the fist show me black sreen with password and when push enter Os start at startup.

    How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

    Hi iliyan_84,

    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.

    Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

  • Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

    I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
    When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
    None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

    I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

    I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

    Thank you

    > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
    Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
    Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

    Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
    You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?

    Hello

    Looks like your HARD drive is locked using a HARD drive password.
    I put t know why this password is necessary but if you don t know this password, then your HARD drive is no longer available and you will need to buy a new one.

    Eventually it s simply a matter of HARD drive and, therefore, the laptop crashed before this HARD drive password appeared so I think that you need a new HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 jumps down and now demand HARD drive password

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. I have some problems when you access the Internet; When I start the Internet, there is no problem, but when MSN messenger start the laptop goes down and I have to turn off manually the laptop. This would be a kind of firewall?

    Last Sunday, this problem occurred when using Skype; But now the computer has completely collapsed. The system first asked "inserting a disc system. I didn't know what they meant, so I turned off the computer a few times manually to see if it would disappear.

    When I turn on the laptop, Windows will not start upward and the system asks a black screen "the password HARD drive". Does anyone know what this means and where I can find it? And means that my laptop is dead, or am I able to fix? Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Question about password on the new Satellite A105 HARD drive

    I am the owner of a Satellite A105 and the hard drive was failing. I got a new hard drive but before I gave up on the current one I decided to wipe it clean and a few tools to see if it was a way to recover.

    Well, when wiping clean it restarts and then he showed me a message saying "password type of HARD drive internal" or something similar. I do not know the password so I can't use the hard disk more (or is there a way to reset the password?), but before you install the new hard drive I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password.

    I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive? The one I have is brand new, and I want to know if I plug it in and from the laptop are all I have to do?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t usually know this password then the HARD drive is locked and can no longer be used.
    It s simply not accessible and it s not possible to remove this password.

    > I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password. I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive?
    I think that he should t be any problem with a new HARD drive.
    As I said the password is stored in the sector specials on the HARD drive. The old password should not exist on the new HARD drive (if the password has not been set).

    Best regards

  • 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

    I got this calculation and it asks me to put in the built in HARD drive password, I don't have so I bought the recovery disks. I did what he said but did nothing? Help me please!

    Hello

    The recovery disk will not remove the HARD drive password. Recovery disk will just reinstall Windows with all the drivers and tools (factory settings), but not remove any HARD or BIOS password disk. Of course the Windows password is deleted installation recovery but that s all.
