Satellite A100-206 supervisor password problem

Hello

We have a Satellite A100-206 at the office.

A colleague trying to protect the laptop set the user password in the bios.
I do not exactly know what she does but at startup is asked for a password.

Then she ask me to remove the password so I typed the password, management of the bios and clear the user password.
But it is, I also noticed that the supervisor password was already defined but not selectable (gray color).

In any case, I've saved and restart.
The problem is that now the OS start without asking for a password, but I can't enter the bios because it asks for a password and is not that of the colleague don't forget to have it fixed.

Why can't I get more into the bios of th as a user?
I also find the hwsetup in windows re set the password of the user as shown in the manual, but this software is not present.

Best regards
Diego

Hello

I put t know which operating system you have, but I think that Akuma is right. If you start HWsetup you can also access the BIOS using this tool and remove or set a supervisor password.

You can remove the password in HWsetup?

  • Satellite L300: Supervisor password problem

    I just bought a Satellite L300 and installed all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.

    I created the user password in the wizard from Toshiba and once I configured the SUPERVISOR PASSWORD.

    But when I tried to enter in the Bios after reboot, the work of doesen't password and in the window when trying to change the user password, it also asks supervisor password and it still says: PASSWORD INCORECT.

    What can I do?
    And why this has happened?

    Hi mate,

    I think that in this case only an auhtorized service provider can help you. If you ave you forgot your supervisor or typed wrong password it can only be removed from an ASP.

    Here, on the site of Toshiba, you can find a list of the ASP s:

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Setup Utility fails

    Hello

    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a license to retail for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition (with SP1) is installed.

    Before installing Vista, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20 - WIN32

    After the installation of the operating system, I started to install different drivers and utilities to download them from the Toshiba site.

    When I try to install the "utility supervisor password" Setup fails with a box of message that says "serial number is not valid.
    Same problem with a different Installer: "utility of Support Flash Cards.

    Someone knows how to solve this problem and what serial number is not valid?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Hana

    If someone has to take care of the warning, it's Microsoft. They offer something new and they know with certainty that he could have different negative influence on the operating system running well.

    Toshiba may just try to react and change has tools and utilities, but it's not easy. you will see that soon or later Toshiba will offer updates for all non-working stuff. The same is with WXP SP2.

    By the way: interesting Toshiba on Vista SP1 - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB84026M0000R01.htm article

  • Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

    Audio device:
    Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Manufacturer: Intel

    (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

    Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

    The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

    I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A100-803 - Vista recovery problem

    Hello

    I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Satellite A100-803 and when I restore Windows Vista from the recovery disk process is going very well, but after restarting windows says that "Windows Setup could not set up Windows on this s material.

    I think that the problem is listed here.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us.

    But the problem is that I can't change the RAID setting in the BIOS, and during the installation of recovery, I'm not able to add the additional drivers needed.
    The new drive is a WD 500 GB driver (WD5000BPVT)

    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance
    Pau

    Hello

    First I put t think its BIOS problem.
    The laptop doesn't support RAID.

    I think the problem is the size of your new HARD drive. Upgrade of the disk HARD 500 GB and its larger than the original HARD drive equipped in A100.

    The point is that a recovery disk automatically creates the partitions on the HARD disk, but due to the size of the disk HARD the size of the partitions would be different also.
    I think that you won't have the same problems to install Vista or Win 7 using the Microsoft disk

  • Satellite A100 - Flash memory card problem

  • Satellite A100-369 - BIOS password was needed all of a sudden

    Hello world!
    I have a Satellite A100-369 psaare04m00dit. After a few tries to install windows 7, (sth has not worked since the restoration of DVD Toshiba) bios password was necessary.

    In fact, no password has been before and... have no idea what would be the password.
    Is there a way how can I reset the passwd for my s/n?
    I bought this laptop 4 years ago... Thank you!!!

    I use Toshiba laptop computers and, as far as I know, the BIOS password can be set only.
    BIOS password can be done via BIOS advanced or preinstalled Toshiba tools options.

  • Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

    Hi people,

    My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

    When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

    The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

    I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
    I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
    Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
    Laptop is out of warranty.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    See you soon
    Steve

    Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

    Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

  • Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

    Hey guys.

    I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

    Now, I have the following two issues:

    (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

    (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

    Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

    If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

    Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
    Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
    Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

  • Satellite A210-1AP: supervisor password utility does not work for Win 7

    I have the utility supervisor password v2.00.05 for Win 7, but it is not working on Win 7 I can't change my password!

    I used this link.

    Model short is psaele
    Where I can find all the drivers and all the utility for Win 7.

    Your laptop is not model portable American and you must use drivers of European support page.
    For now, Toshiba has not begun support Win7, but I hope it will happen soon. The question is if your laptop model will be supported Win7.

    In any case, I think you can use touchpad driver designed for A300, but it takes that Toshiba offers all drivers.

  • Satellite A100 heating and fan problem

    Hello

    I will try to describe my problem in detail because I so hope that it might help!

    I have a 5 years A100-011, Nvidia 7600 Go satellite. Recently, I fixed a display problem that I used to, however, this time (two weeks ago) him comes from the computer laptop back from the workshop with this heating problem. Which is the first time! The problem is the fan.

    When I start the PC, the fan works like it ti be long, maximum for 3-4 seconds. After that the fan barely works! According to me, the air coming out but very very low! less than how it is used for years! I came back to the same place, I corrected the PC. They checked and claim his fine and work! So, I give it a shot and tried the PC.

    Unconsciously, there is problem. Because the temperature of the GPU that has the problem, idling about reaching 60 c (SpeedFan) and goes high (65-67) while surfing the net! And using this way too much for internet!

    What makes it even worst fan always at the same speed very slow! The speed can increase little when he reached 67c!

    In this way, I can not use any high performance program, because the PC becomes more heated then stop.

    Note: I tried the following:
    1-BIOS (latest version) no available fan control
    2 power settings does nothing and there is no option of cooling method
    3 - fan control software. Unfortunately, nothing has worked

    I don't really know what the problem is! Given that the fan works but not all the time and why the GPU gets hot without doing something really serious! What is a cleaning problem? If so, why the fan does not reach its maximum speed at this temperature. !

    I hope I am fine help and answer here!
    PLS help!
    Thank you

    I agree with the user Notepad Akuma is 5 years old and I think that there is a lot of dust and debris inside the cooling modules that prevent fans from running correctly.
    Air can circulate properly and therefore the temperature rises
    So what to do?

    You can use a jet of compressed air to remove dust from the fans that I'm doing this regularly and it helps to clean the fans

  • Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

    My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

    Is there a solution?
    is that what the recoverable data?
    If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Robbo88

    As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
    Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

    If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

    Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.
