Satellite Pro L10: BIOS passwords again

Hello!

Tonight one of my friends brought me his Satellite Pro L10 and asked me to remove the user password, cose she dislikes grasp every time... OK, it's very simple! -I said. I went to the BIOS with the same password, found the supervisor password option and turn off the power. I could not enter the user password option and left him, thinking I'll fix this later... Well...

Can you imagine how I was surprised when the system says - password invalid! More... I tried to go back to the BIOS, but system asked me a password... but I deleted "Supervisor password" well, I typed the old one and it does not again!

Ok. Of course, later, I found the manual for this Satellite Pro L10, I know that it might be preferable to use the Toshiba Console and Toshiba HWSetup could be.

Tell me, please, supervisor password had priority, and now she has to remember his user password?
Or there is something else?

Thank you!

I studied a bit on the Toshiba knowledge site (it s very useful and interesting) and found this knowledge base article:

Satellite L10 - setting the BIOS and supervisor passwords
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300WK001GR01.htm

Check it out. Maybe it helps.

Additional, as I know if is not the BIOS password, you cannot delete it by yourself. Only the service guys are able to remove unknown BIOS password.

  • Satellite Pro L10 boot password is not the same as in HWSetup

    I recently got a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L10 by my employer. I entered a password and then confirm the password again in the configuration of HW from Toshiba in Control Panel of Windows XP. Then I clicked on the recommended option. No string or password was displayed in the box under Registered.

    Since then, I was not able to boot up the laptop as the password that I entered Setup of HW is not recognized by the laptop started upward. I tried to type the password with caps lock, shift, and numlock on also. Are there any bugs or fault with defining a password for starting in the HW configuration utility? If there is a fault or a bug I would have preferred that the portable computer password is removed under the guarantee.

    If I have to pay a Service partner.

    Hi Geoff

    On this path, it is not easy to tell what's going on exactly, but I assume that your employer has implemented BIOS password. You can enter the BIOS settings by using the F2 key at startup?

    The BIOS password removal is not part of the guarantee and it must be paid. In my opinion, you must bring the laptop to your employer. He probably has Admin rights and it can set up passwords on the right track.

  • On Satellite Pro A100 BIOS password

    I don t know where the problem is.
    Can an authorized here tell me how to fix or what the problem?

    Thnx

    Hello

    > Can someone with authority here tell me how to solve or where is the problem?
    Don t understand what you mean by authorized. Here, you will meet common Toshiba users like me and you, and not just any ASP guy!
    If you need to remove the BIOS password that I recommend you contact the ASP guys one more time and to clarify this issue.
    Perhaps the BIOS should be updated after removing the BIOS password again.

  • How to remove the Satellite Pro 4600 BIOS password?

    A friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (PS460E-03371-EN). Unfortuately the password of the BIOS was set before the purchase and would like to know how to reset it.
    The machine will not start now.
    Any help as to the location of the BIOS battery or work around this problem will be appreciated.

    Hello

    To remove the BIOS battery will not help. BIOS by removing on laptops is more complicated than on desktop computers. BIOS by removing the procedure depends on the laptop model and it is not the same on all models of laptops.

    A lot of people get the laptop with password and to provide an accurate description how do this in the public forum is not good idea.
    Have you tried to contact the person who sold this laptop and ask BIOS password?

  • How to remove the Satellite Pro 2100 BIOS password?

    Hi one of our former workers have our business sp2100 laptop and recently left, now we went to use the laptop and it has a password on it.

    We cannot get in touch with the ex-worker and now have a laptop useless?

    can anyone help?

    HEY Mac,

    Unfortunately, once a BIOS password is set, it is not a simple procedure to reset unless the original password is known. It is a simple but effective measure to protect the PC or laptop in case of theft, so obviously any widely known for the bypass procedure would make it inefficient.

    You will need to contact an authorized Toshiba Service partner who, after having completed the audit of the ownershipo re-flash of the BIOS chip to remove the current password, or replace the motherboard (including the BIOS chip) depending on the model.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L10: How to remove the user password

    Hello

    I work for a school and we have a bunch of laptops Satellite Pro L10. I put a supervisor on all laptops password think this problem would be solved (I didn't enter a password each time the machines are enabled), but one of our students seems to have found its way to the HWSetup utility in Control Panel and could save a user password on one of the laptops.

    Alarmingly there seems to be no way to clear the password of the user, even though I have the supervisor password. I can get the BIOS as a supervisor, but the definition of a user password option is grayed out. Can anyone provide a solution for my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, I think that this problem could be solved by updating the BIOS to the version 2.60 or greater.
    But the problem is that the password has already been fixed.

    I read in the paper of Toshiba that all passwords must be removed before starting the BIOS updates.
    That's why I think it would be advisable to contact Toshiba service partner to remove first the user password, and then update the BIOS.

    You know it's very risky to update the BIOS of the device when the user or any password has been set.
    It of possible that the BIOS update procedure will be interrupted if the password exists.

    Before you take the BIOS update, you need to extract all files from zip archive.

    I would really be steered in the right direction on this one that Ive looked on the net and nothing can not know

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hello

    You have an IRQ conflict in the BIOS. You need to reset the default values. Otherwise, start the laptop and got the Device Manager.
    There, you must uninstall the WLan driver and LAN driver.

    After restarting again, you must install the two drivers again.

    If it doesn't, use the Toshiba Recovery CD!
    All your problems should have.

  • Satellite Pro L10 will not start the system

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, which won't work for some reason any.

    The last time that I used it, it worked perfectly fine, but now all I get is a black filtered message on "windows starts do not successfully»

    It indicates that the computer is not responding and asked me to choose one of the five options - safe mode, safe mode with network, security mode command, last known configuration, prompt or start windows normally.

    There is also a 30 second countdown if I do nothing the portable samekh automatically.
    It is, none of these things work.

    Everything that happens with any option is to a thought very much time on things, then it goes to a black screen with a time/processing bar downstairs, then when that ends it turns itself off, samekh, mw windows page shows (with f2 and f4/f10? options) and the process is repeated.

    He did about 50 times now and still nothing.
    I tried the command ctrl/alt/del, I tried to turn if off and try again, I even opened the f options but I don't know enough about computers to do more.

    Help, please!

    If possible I would like to get the computer on long enough to verify what documents I have on this subject before I can back up (if necessary) and restore it to the factory settings (as I predicted), or if this is not possible, I do not think that there is a lot to lose in this respect in any case, am prepared to take it all back to factory if necessary. I have all necessary installation CD and manuals to go with.

    hope this makes sense and I gave you all you need to know.

    Thanks, B

    It seems that the laptop is not able to boot the system, but I m not quite sure if it s because of the defective system or HARD drive corruption.
    If it s just a system problem, the installation of the new Windows operating system should help you to get it resolved.

    In case the HARD disk is defective, you need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system.

  • Satellite Pro L10: Enter key malunction

    Hello.

    On my Satellite Pro L10, the Enter key does not work. I tested it in the BIOS and it works but it does not work in Windows XP. If someone from the software fixes or advice I would be very grateful

    Hello

    It's a very strange question, but you should be more specific about this. How did you test the feature key of entry? Is there the same result if you use Notepad or the same conversation programs Office applications? Your device's pre-installed with recovery media?

    As much as I know it isn't common Windows problem and it is unclear to me that there is a patch for this problem.

  • Can not get my Satellite Pro L10

    I have a satellite pro l10, I tried to put my recovery disk in and she said keeping key c down when I start my computer but it does, nt work, how do I get this drive to work does anyone have an idea, s Please

    Hi James,

    Press and hold the 'C' key is a specific shortcut of Toshiba to allow the laptop to boot directly from the CD. However, you can also select the CD-ROM as boot device in the BIOS, just press the F12 key when you see the Toshiba start screen for power over the process and you will be presented with a menu of the device selection. Tab just down to the CD-ROM and press to enter. The laptop computer should now boot from the CD.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro L10: Recovery disk is not available

    HELO,
    I lost my disc of recovery for Toshiba Satellite Pro L10.
    Service in Poland say my only: Toshiba do not have this disc now.
    am I to do now?

    I need to reinstall my system.

    Model number PSL15E-00x009PL, serial number 55016672W

    Sorry, my English is bad.

    Krzysiek

    Hello

    It s very strange because this device is not very old, and as far as I know you can order all recover cd. Toshiba should always have a copy of the CD or DVD. I can t believe that it s is not possible.
    I would recommend asking EPA again or to call other ASP in Poland.

    The second possibility is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM, and then install the drivers set and tools of Toshiba.
    Such Toshiba things you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.
