• Satellite Pro 2100 jumps down and now demand HARD drive password

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. I have some problems when you access the Internet; When I start the Internet, there is no problem, but when MSN messenger start the laptop goes down and I have to turn off manually the laptop. This would be a kind of firewall?

  Last Sunday, this problem occurred when using Skype; But now the computer has completely collapsed. The system first asked "inserting a disc system. I didn't know what they meant, so I turned off the computer a few times manually to see if it would disappear.

  When I turn on the laptop, Windows will not start upward and the system asks a black screen "the password HARD drive". Does anyone know what this means and where I can find it? And means that my laptop is dead, or am I able to fix? Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

• 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?

• Satellite Pro L20 and an upgrade of the HARD drive

  This laptop is any size 2.5 "hard drive? Dream of a disk of 7 200 > ~ 100 GB or greater. It has only a fairly slow 40 GB 5400 installed at present.
  Also, what type is in these L20 PATA or SATA?

  Hello

  I studied a bit and it seems that the laptop supports a HARD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB disk size.
  I advise to use disks hard speed 5400 RPM and no 7200 RPM due to the temperature of production
  Additional cell phone supports a serial ATA (SATA) interface.

  The drives as:
  MHV2100AH 100 GB
  MHV2080AH 80 GB
  MHV2060AH 60 GB

  Data transfer is supported by the speed of 475 Mbit/s and a transfer rate of 100 MB/s (Mode Ultra DMA) interface

  Hope that my small list of information will help you...

• Satellite U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400-PSU40E. I put the HARD drive password to test this optoins in BIOS. It woks fine. After that, I remove the HDD password, but when BONES start to start the fist show me black sreen with password and when push enter Os start at startup.

  How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

  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.

• 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

• 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?

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.
