Satellite A100 PSAA8U: How can I unlock the system - remove BIOS password?

I recently bought a model of Satellite A100 PSAA8U - 0S 3033 at a yard sale. After changing the memory and the HARD drive (which was supposed to be the problem with the system), I came to understand, there was a password required before I can use the system. Assuming that this system was reported stolen by anyone. Is it possible to unlock it?

Moreover, it also has a finger scanner.

Hello

You have a problem with BIOS password or maybe HARD drive password?

> Assuming that this system has been reported stolen by a person

Where you bought this laptop? In the PC store or as a second hand?

  • Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

    Hi all!

    I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

    What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
    Thank you!

    You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

    But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
    I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

    That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)

  • I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

    I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

    I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

  • I have Microsoft XP 3 package and some how I lost the ability to restore the system. How can I reinstall the system restore on my computer please?

    Thank you.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

  • Satellite A200-1AE: How can I configure the settings of buttons Dual Mode Pad?

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite A200-1AE. I tried to configure the default first button on my touch pad (lower left) so that I can fire up MSWord, but it did not work.

    Now every time I have set the mode button and press this button, that nothing not to pass - I lost practically this button.

    My question is how can I configure the mode button on the touch pad settings? Even if I was able to start a program by using the 3 buttons how can I modify these programs?

    Thanks for your help!

    p.s. I read the extended version of the manual for my laptop. There is no explanation of my problem - it says I should look "Synaptics Dual Mode Pad properties.

    I don't know where are these properties.

    Hello

    It s is not so difficult as you think, the properties of the synaptics are in the "mouse properties" of your "Control Panel" of windows. When you reach the 'mouse', then click on the "Advanced" tab and you should find a button 'Advanced functionality settings'.
    It could be that the button is not named as mine, but it must be identical.
    After clicking on it, you should look for this 'easy' Launcher in one of the tabs.

    I think that you will make it, but I'd like some feedback from you.

  • Satellite P300D 10V - how can I update the display driver?

    I have a Satellite P300D 10V and there ATI radeon hd 3xxx series display panel. I bought Starcraft 2 and there was an error message: that the display driver is outdated.

    I went on ati.com. They say I have to get the driver from Toshiba. I went to Toshiba, had the driver. When you try to install it says no components to install. I uninstalled the ati driver and tried again. The same thing.

    Now I don't have driver for the graphics card. How can I install the driver?

    Help, please!

    Hey,.

    This means that you have uninstalled the old display driver, but now, you are not able to install the latest version of Toshiba?
    Well, what OS do you have?

    Before installing the new display driver, you should decompress all the files. Then run the setup.exe file.
    If you get the same error message, try to install the driver through the Device Manager.

    After the installation of the VAP (value added package) for Win 7, you can configure the keys by pressing the button for the first time.
