Satellite Pro A120-154 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

Hello

I have the following problem: I set a password for the HARD drive in my old Satellite Pro A120-154 years ago, and now I want to remove or change the passowrd since I'll give you this laptop for my nephew. Instead I don't know the password, I am not able to change or remove, not with the password of Toshiba uitility program and not with the BIOS set up.

Further I can't find any info on this in the user manual. How can I do this?

Thanks Tino

  • 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?

    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.

    +++ Problem +++

    No change possible 'Building in HDD Password'.
    The generation in HARD drive password' is known - but cannot remove the 'build in HARD drive password'.

    +++ Progress +++

    (1) parameters of the BIOS "Password."

    Background is to create an image file from the hard drive without the laptop original.

  • How to remove the HARD drive password?

    Password, turn on your drive. I know, but cannot remove the password.
    How can I remove HDD password?

    I'm here with the solution...

    1. the HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

    2 using the BIOS CONFIGURATION go to the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
    HARD drive password
    HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
    HARD drive password mode = USER only
    Registered = user password

    3 tab in the "User password" field and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would. If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

    * Or try this: *.

    Enter the BIOS
    arrow to the "Registered" field HARD drive password
    Press
    Enter the existing password and then
    Enter the new password (or leave it empty if you n t want one no matter what password), then
    Meet confirm retype the new password (or leave blank (see above) then)

    That's all...

    Any help please?

    Hello

    The HARD drive password can be removed ONLY if the old password would be known to you.
    If the HARD drive password is not known to you then you will not be able to delete
    In this case, the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer usable.

    I would like to remove the internal hard disk of 60 GB of my satellite P10 804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot find a way to enter in the case of removing the HARD drive.

    Does anyone have the details on how to do?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the HARD drive must be placed under the optical dirve.
    To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and the optical drive, and then follow the steps below:

    1. remove the four black screws that anchor the shield of aluminum covering the HARD drive and pull it out.
    2. gently pull on the HARD drive the front panel of the computer to disconnect the system board, then pull it out.
    3. remove the four silver screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

    But be careful. If you have no experience ask someone with more experience in these replacements.

    Hello

    Unfortunately this Toshiba device it unknown to me and I don t have found all documents on the replacement HARD drive.
    But as far as I know, there should be only 2 possibilities how to do to remove the HARD drive.
    1.) under the disk HARD is placed at the bottom of the unit and you should only remove the cover of the HARD drive.
    Or

    2.) HARD drive is placed in the Notepad. In this case you will need to Remover the keyboard and some covers to replace the HARD drive

    Well, I can give you only that info. I think that if you want to know the detailed instructions, you should contact Toshiba service partner because it has a more detailed information on these cases.
