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

  • 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?

  • Out of the blow of sleep when the HARD drive password used on Portege R700

    Hello
    I just got a DLI R700 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit
    I have a very annoying problem because it must be plus 1 minute to accept the password after the resumption of the mode standby. It would be faster out of the hibernation!
    So he wakes up from his sleep in a second, then you can enter the password without any problem but you just can't click on the arrow or press on enter up to what more than one minute. Similarly, it will accept even fingerprints directly at the exit (you get the green check mark) after wake but then expects just over one minute to move in the opening session on the desktop screen.

    Through a process of account, I worked on what was going on...
    Only, it crashes when you have the password on resume from sleep. CV password sleep turn out and he throws back in Office windows in seconds of wake
    This does not happen to resume from hibernation or reboot - scan of fingerprints or password is entered, then goes right into the office in a few seconds
    I started uninstalling software fingerpint, vap, power, toshiba - nothing always security management the same. Then I realized the password HARD drive - which was defined using the security of Toshiba and deleted using the same, has been still enabled in the bios. I have this off and everything works fine. I reinstalled the vap, power management and fingerprint software and everything is always very well, so it was defnitely the HARD drive password.
    Now it's really fake I want to have a RESUME from sleep password and HDD password protection - I have to choose between one or the other, unless I want to wait more than a minute each time he wakes from sleep which is a real pain! So it's clearly a bug in HARD drive password settings, probably in the bios? I have the latest BIOS installed.
    Any ideas on how to get this sort?

    Does anyone else have this problem with be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Or everyone doesn't have this problem, that is to say that they hear HARD drive password AND he wakes with password ok in a few seconds?
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    It's really hard to say something about what I can only say that I can t noticed this problem on my Windows installation.

    By the way: you are using the version Windows from Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

    Theoretically, it could be a problem to install Windows or disc itself are you able to test another installation of HARD drive or windows that you can make sure it is not a software problem?

  • Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

    I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

    How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

    Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
    Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

    Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

    See you soon
    Matt

    Hello

    I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

    BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

    I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
    Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.

    Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

    To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

    However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
    Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.
