Satellite A215 boots to BIOS password screen.

I have a Satellite A215-7425 with a problem, I thought I'd pass along the forum. Thank God the three Toshiba laptops that we use, it's the only one who has this problem, so far.

Spontaneously, this laptop starts with the screen of the BIOS at startup password. The problem is, there is no solution for this problem before returning the computer to a Service Center Toshiba where the password can be reset or replaced a security chip or such nonsense. Toshiba technical support can help you to short to send you a UPS box to return the computer in. Technical support Toshiba doesn't have a password that they can give you, or they do not know what causes this problem, but "Toshiba working on it." A search for this problem on Google translates into various web sites that list the Toshiba BIOS passwords, which none has solved my problem.

Now for my question, that Toshiba could not answer, why, in heaven's name would be a laptop or any computer for that matter, be set up in this way? What is a BIOS password, which, with the lack of effectivly, the computer makes them unusable, has to do with security? It's stupid!

Oh and another thing, Toshiba is not the only company that does this, Gateway, HP and Dell do not provide a password of BIOS for repair, or their Support technicians technical people.

So if your Toshiba start screen of the BIOS password, and that your Toshiba just happens to contain information essential for peace in the world, you're out of luck until it can be delivered being repaired and delivered back to you.

Desmond, a very dissatisfied customer of Toshiba.

I m the ASP will remove the BISO password and will solve this problem.

  • Cannot exceed on Satellite Pro L450D-12 X BIOS password screen

    A friend gave me a laptop to watch. His windows password was not recognized. She asked me to perform a password reset. I tried to get into the BIOS to change the boot order and requested a password. My friend doesn't know the BIOS password.

    Than trying to get into the BIOS, whenever I start the laptop, it always goes to BIOS password entry screen. How to start windows log on screen and he asks me the bypass BIOS password?

    The laptop model is satellite pro L450D - 12 X

    > How to start the windows log on screen and he asks me the bypass BIOS password?
    BIOS password is very important security feature and you cannot bypass so simply.
    To be honest, to discuss this topic on the public forum is pretty crazy, isn't it?

    Each notebook stolen with BIOS password would be easy to start and data would be not protected at all.

    It is unwise to chat about it. In any case, BIOS password can be removed by only authorized personnel, so contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they will help you with this.

  • Satellite Pro A100 request BIOS password which was never put

    Hiya

    Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

    I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

    I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks in advance

    This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
    Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

    Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

    I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

    Do you know how to find the ASP closest?

    Hello

    Before you try to update the BIOS, all passwords must be removed!
    BIOS password can be removed by the authorized service provider available in your country.

    But the unknown HARD disk password can be removed more.
    In such a case the HDD isn't accessible and cannot be used.

  • Satellite A100-090 request BIOS password I never set

    Hi all

    I bought 1 year there is a Satellite A100-090 which I was very happy off until now.
    All of a sudden, when I try to start it, I wonder a BIOS password that I never put, not BIOS nor Windows.

    No one could access the PC, because he's locked all the time and there is no one living with me.

    Details: previously, when I started it I had a blue bar + "press DELETE to access the settings, F12 to start... '. ' etc, it's gone.
    I tried TOSHIBA and everything that came to my mind, has not worked.

    Please help me! :-(

    Looks like it is a very common problem :(

    I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

    Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

    Best regards
    Rob

    Hello

    Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
    If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

    I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

    In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
    Please check this!

  • Re: Satellite A50 - how can I change the boot with BIOS password priority?

    I have a Satellite A50. I need to restore to factory default to recover DVD, how do I boot from the DVD?

    The default boot priority is the HARD drive and is more bootable has been formatted. My BIOS is password protected, how can I change the boot priority? After having inserted the password, its always boot from the HARD drive.

    Thank you

    The boot priority, that you can change in the BIOS.
    Go into the BIOS with ESC, enter your password and then you can change it.
    But don t forget to save the changes.

    That s all and then you can boot from the CD.

  • Satellite C855D-135 - corrupt BIOS, black screen, keypad does not work

    Hello everyone.

    I had some problems with my laptop Toshiba Satellite C855D-135. I had to change my internal hard drive, so I decided to install windows 7 on it (I used to have windows 8 but do not have the CD and I could not find the license key sticker).
    So I went into the BIOS it go from UEFI to CSM, but something was not right and he seems to have corrupted the bios.
    I think I have it bricked, but some things still work.

    When I turn it on:
    -l' screen stays black (Yes, I tried it on another screen)
    -the keyboard is not working (the leds do not turn when I press the caps lock)
    -the fan works fine
    -cd player works fine
    -When I plug a USB key, it quickly flashes once, which seems to work
    -When I removed the memory bar, the computer has done is the series of beeps

    -J' tried to remove the battery, unplug and pressing the power button for centuries. (no luck)
    -J' tried to remove the CMOS battery to restore default bios. (no luck)
    -J' tried flashing the bios on a USB key, until I realized that the keyboard was not working and it was in vain.
    -J' tried to update the bios on a CD and it ran for a while, but nothing happened in the end. I tried to put these files on the CD:
    -IBIOS. BAT
    -C8610. FD (in the folder of Win8)
    -C610. FD (in the WIN7 folder)
    -J' tried to rename C8610. FD to the BIOS. FD

    I am out of ideas now.
    Could someone help me? Pretty please?
    I hope that this is not the motherboard that broke, coz I really didn't have the money to send it off to be repaired.

    In the history sounds very strange to me I never heard that that it would affect the BIOS to change the boot UEFI to MSC mode.
    In my opinion, there is a serious hardware problem. As you already linked to, it would probably be a motherboard failure.

    I recommend you to ask some technicians for hardware diagnostics to check the motherboard in order to be 100% sure about the fault.

    If you n t have enough money and the motherboard is really affected you could try to recover a part of 2nd hand
