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.

  • 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:

    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 L10-103 - USB ports not working not

    Hi, my Satellite Pro L10 - 103 USB Ports do not work. I tried different things and finally my Advisor rubbed my computer clean of all programs and operating system. After reloading of the set up disc and having lost my dear some programs I am no further forward. It still does not.

    Anyone know if this means that it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I use Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    As wrote Akuma did you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Microsoft Windows disk?

    After installing XP, make sure that Service Pack 3 is installed. It contains important updates and can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba.

    In addition, try to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the computer. Ports will still be recognized and ready to use once.

  • 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.

    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.

    Hey Buddy

    What to say first of all that you will get not the official drivers for this laptop for Windows 7 or Vista.
    This laptop is oldie and I doubt that pilots will be released.

    By reading this forum threads I've noticed that most of the user using the driver on Win 7 OS Vista.
    Maybe you should google for Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista on Windows 7 driver

  • Satellite Pro L10: CMOS clock stops when the OS is not running

    Hello

    We know a reason why the cmos clock would stop when the operating system does not (phone off), the laptop is 18 months old, I've updated the bios tries to give him a good boost, but no effect, he was also in charge for 24 hours.
    Any advice would be great.

    See you soon
    Paul

    Hello

    Usually if the BIOS date/time is wrong and always changes, the RTC battery which is mounted on the motherboard fails.
    In this case the CMOS battery needs to be changed or maybe only removed for awhile

    If your laptop is 18 months, the guarantee must be valid.
    Generally if you have registered on the page of Toshiba notebook the warranty covers all repairs for about 2 years (24 months).

    In this case, I would recommend contacting ASP in your country, because the technician must be able to solve this problem very easily.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L10 - USB port will not recognize devices

    Hello

    I got a L10 for 18 months. Under the guarantee, I got a replacement motherboard mounted. Everything has been ok so far. A USB port will not recognize devices, a port is ok, but randomly turns off a device attached to it and comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The third port is ok all the time.

    Any solutions or suggestions?

    Post edited by: caddy

    I guess there is not enough power on the USB ports and external devices may not work correctly. It is not easy to say why this happens, but there may be a problem of welding.

    I recommend you contact the service again as soon as possible.

  • Max Memory for Satellite Pro L10

    What is the maximum amount of memory that can be installed in Satellite Pro L10? When I bought the laptop in 2005, it was 1 GB. This limit is now higher with the new BIOS, released November 6, 2009?

    Satellite Pro L10 (PSL15E) can manage with only 1 GB of RAM.
    BIOS update has nothing to do with it and after the update of the BIOS, that this value will not be changed.

  • 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: 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.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - PCI on motherboard at boot error

    Hey,.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10.
    This weekend my laptop works normally.
    But now for some reason when I boot I get this error message:

    Resource conflict - mother PCI card
    Bus: 02, device: 01, function: 00
    F1 F2 for Setup to resume

    I can still get into Windows (XP SP2) and the computer works normally, but the error message is a gene.
    I've also updated the BIOS to the latest version that I could find on the Toshiba site, but still get the error.
    I guess that it is a hardware problem, maybe something is broken/failing?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure that this error could say, but I guess that the PCI device (perhaps a card) connected to the bus 2 causes this error message.

    Maybe this could be a PCMCIA controller that is responsible for the PCMCIA card.

    Did you check your device manager for errors that are indicated by yellow exclamation points?

    Please check if one of the devices listed in the Device Manager does not work properly.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L10 - Unmountable Boot Volume

    My Satellite Pro L10 loops in the boot process. After the Windows XP splash screen, the following error messages appears:... Unmountable boot volume... Technical information: Stop: 0x000000ED...

    I know that is nothing exceptional and do a full restore would solve the problem. But I don't want to lose the data (which are of course not saved). I tried a Windows XP disk, but it does not start from the cd/dvd drive by pressing F12 or <0>and change the boot order...

    Can anyone help please?

    Hello

    Hmm, the volume not mountable startup error message appears especially if the HARD drive may not be recognized during initialization. Why? Well, maybe the HARD drive failures or the master boot record is defective!

    If you don t want to recover the laptop, you can try to boot from the XP CD (C press immediately after switching on the laptop) and to start the repair console.

    In the repair console, you can use the command chkdsk/p and after that, you could fix the disk main boot using the fixboot command or / and fixmbr.

    If this does not help, the new installation of the OS is that you as a last resort.

    PS: If you want to save the data you can try to remove the HARD drive and try to connect it via external USB HDD controller to another computer.
