Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c - password not recognized

I bought a S500 - 11 c in July. I have set up with a startup password and it seemed ok. Turn it on, enter the password and off you go.
I've written the password down "just in case".

Due to circumstances the laptop then unused for about two months. Now, he does not recognize the password and does not start.

What can I do to remedy this?

Hey Anchorage,

To be a little more detail, what password you mean exactly?

There are several types of BIOS passwords:
HARD drive password-
-The BIOS user password
-The BIOS supervisor password
-Windows password

So what password say you exactly?

    On my Satellite Pro S500 (preinstalled Windows 7 64-bit) change the brightness by pressing FN - F6 or FN + F7 does not work. The other NF - f... combinations seem to work correctly.

    When I press FN - F6 (or F7) a control box to change the brightness to poster (as expected), but the level is still displayed as "1" independent of the current value (for example changed from Control Panel or with the eco utility) and it is not possible to change it with FN - F6 or F7. I just reinstalled vap and restarted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    Hi asdf.

    I put t know what s wrong exactly but normally the FN keys are associated with value added Package, but you wrote that you already reinstalled

    In my opinion, you should try a system restore to an earlier point. Maybe something messed up the registry, you can start System Restore in Windows Advanced Boot menu.

Finally, I was ready to son mask 11 and 13, as suggested in many forums. But when I put the card inside, unknown electrically. It seems that the mini-pci slot must be Electric.toutes impossible. My Bios is not impossible, but it.

  • Satellite Z30 - A - 12R BIOS password not recognized after update BIOS

    I updated the bios after that I warned the Bios of Toshiba v3.50. The process was done by the utility software of Toshiba and after restarting it has 'password =' on a blank screen and it does not recognize my BIOS password, write not 'certified '.

    I also tried the HARD drive password, but no luck.

    What can I do now?

    Hello

    Before you try to update the BIOS, all passwords must be removed!
    BIOS password can be removed by the authorized service provider available in your country.

    But the unknown HARD disk password can be removed more.
    In such a case the HDD isn't accessible and cannot be used.

    Mate sorry but in my opinion that you only have one chance to get the BIOS password removed. you need the help of ASP.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 i5 or i7 i3 CPU upgrade

    Hi everyone, I'm having 7 Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 Notebooks here and want to update these shit Core i3 330M and 350M, 370 M and 380M CPU for Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. I'm not quite sure what CPU Socket, I have to buy and which generations of CPUS are supported by the S500. I processors up to 380 M Corei3 assembled in these things now and think its a HM55 Express chipset inside which must allow to i5 and i7 processors. I already had problems in upgrading toshiba tecra A9 modells and after upgrading CPU they were running very well and the FAN was blowing ultra noisy at speed of 100% all the time without ever turning off again even if the laptop could be frozen at 0 ° C and it has never been warm. Level 3rd Toshiba support then told me that he would need a firmware update they do provide customers and was told to send books to repair @ € 50 each, just to update this microcode. So I would ask if anyone has a list of processors supported for the S500 modells?
    Numbers of exact model I have:
    Satellite Pro S500-106 (PSSE0E-19M06SLD)
    Satellite Pro S500-147 (PSSE0E-0HH06SLD)
    Satellite Pro S500-132 (PSSE0E-09G05ELD)

    Hope someone can help, I don't want to end up buying an i7 or i5 cpu, spending 50 dollars, investing 4 hours work and end up with a laptop unusable, I immediately dismantle again just for the work that I had invested... Forward your answers J

    Best thing to do is to choose a CPU provided with one of the other S500 PSSE0E patterns. This way you can be sure the BIOS supports.
    Some portable computers require a cooling system calibration after that another CPU is installed. An ASP can do the calibration.

  • Satellite Pro S500-14 t - I would like to upgrade my graphics driver

    Hello

    I want to update my graphics driver since it is a bit old (2010) and a program starts asking for him.

    Toshiba Satellite Pro S500-14 T
    Reference No.. PSSE0E-0LM07QIT
    Serial number. YA175628H

    Intel HD Graphics
    Current driver installed: 8.15.10.2189

    I tried to search on intel.com, but here is the result:
    + A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. +
    + The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. +
    + Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. +

    The search for my PC in the [Download drivers, software patches and other updates for your Toshiba product] result of article in a "drivers not available."

    So my question is: where can I find an update for my graphics driver (if it exists)?

    Thank you

    To be honest I would not update the driver only because the version of the driver is old!
    I would try to update the driver ONLY if I would notice some problems in relation to other applications such as games, etc.

    However, the fact is that the drivers that are released on the page of the Toshiba UE driver are certified by Toshiba. It s recommended to use these drivers.

    If you want to install the drivers from other sources, you can do it at your own risk.
    There is no guarantee that these drivers work correctly.

    Anyway, the laptop supports Intel HD graphic card. This graphical unit is part of the Intel CPU

  • Problem turning on the Satellite Pro S500 without battery

    Hello!

    I have the following situation with my Satellite Pro S500-115:

    The battery seems to be faulty now (it loads more and Win 7 Pro told me to replace it).
    When I turn on the laptop and the battery is connected, it works for a few minutes and then it suddenly off.

    But even if I remove the battery and the laptop connected to the DC IN, when I press the turn on button have nothing happens!

    If the laptop should not be able to operate in such circumstances, which is only connected to the electric network and with the connected battery off? I have to set in order to operate like this?

    Thanks in advance!

    > The battery seems to be broken now (it loads more and Win 7 Pro told me to replace it).
    > When I turn on the laptop and the battery is connected, it works for a few minutes and then it suddenly off.

    My old laptop battery is dead too much 6 years It's possible to use the laptop in the dough mode for just two minutes after the battery is empty, but I use the notebook with the AC adapter connected and that is why I don't need to replace the battery.

    > Shouldn't the laptop be able to operate in such circumstances, that is only connected to the electric network and with the battery connected off? I have to set in order to operate like this?

    Usually the laptop should be able to turn on and operate without battery connected.
    My laptop works fine with an adapter connected only. So what to say maybe the ESF is also affected, but it's just a suggestion

    But you must check if the BIOS is in place to this day... sometimes a BIOS update could solve some problems of power and battery.

  • Satellite Pro S500-10F - cannot reinstall the operating system

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro S500-10F provided with Windows 7 Professional with downgrade rights (and DVD) to XP Pro. I downgraded to XP Pro and everything worked fine (I did it on a number of similar machines).

    Then Windows started to have problems and crashing with BSOD. I decided to rebuild the machine to reinstall Windows XP Pro from DVD supplied with the machine. The thing is it gets 2% and then gives the BSOD.

    I thought it was the hard drive because there was some disk errors when it removed and put it outside of another machine, so replaced. Still the same problem. I tried to connect external USB DVD drive and boot from that. He did indeed start the external drive but then for some reason, try to copy the files of its own DVD player. I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Pro of the DVD to the top together, I created, this failed. I tried to install Windows XP Pro since version box and have failed.

    At this stage do not know if DVD player or what. He tried to build start player flash, but even if the system seen as boot option, then tried to boot from the network?

    Any help much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I put t think that it is what you can do. You have tested the recovery disk and a new HARD drive, but the same happens. So that would mean it's hardware related problem.

    TOSHIBA recovery disk contains an image pre-tested all drivers and tools. This means that you can still install Windows recovery disc and it will work. If it's not (like in your case) it something wrong with the hardware.

    If your laptop is still under warranty valid, you can bring it to a service provider allowed in your country and guys can fix this for free because of the guarantee. Get in touch with technicians and explain your problem, they will sort it out for you. ;)

  • Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

    Hello

    on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

    Thank you
    Karl

    Hi karlS_1,

    Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

    You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.
