Security 0176 - the system has been tampered with

The machine is therefore a T40. He had no no password for at least the 2 years ive had it. The main battery was bad and the cmos battery died recently (id assume bad main battery helped along).

After replacing the cmos battery (tested with v-meter and it shows 3.23v) Im getting this error message. When I click ok to goto setup it asks password. But when I hit enter it leaves me without any problems. Its also never done this before the cmos battery is dead.

Under Security, it says disabled lock bios setting. Power and HDD 1 is also disabled.

I thought trying to reset to the default values, but when I Press f9 it does not work. No idea if this key is broken, ive never used.

Info from the BIOS 3.21 (1RETDPWW)

On-board version 3.04

Someone has ideas of what to try? I know that toshiba has had a similar problem with some models there, but they included a cmos reset jumper on motherboards out there to reset the default settings of the bios.

Ive seen thinkpads with all 0's on the UUID before where were going to the boards, but it contains a correct number.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Its an older machine so card mother isn't really a practical value.

Your T40 has a supervisor on that password, that's why you can't reset defaults, etc..

Die the CMOS battery has raised this issue, where the error message.

Use it as not is not that you can do short of permutation of the motherboard.

Good luck.

  • Error: The task image is damaged or has been tampered with 0 x 80041321

    I recently returned to windows7 home premium after using windows 10.  Now when I try to save it on my external hard drive Seagate, it says no backup has been set up.  So, I put in place and while doing that, I get the message "the image of the task is damaged or has been tampered with (0 x 80041321).  So I tried again and said that I would choose the stuff to back up.  I unchecked the box to include an image of the disk system.  The same problem.    My external hard drive works.  I went back to the 10 7 on my laptop and can backup on the external drive without problem.  Suggestions?

    Well, this means that not only your broken backup job are (yet) but if all other Windows 7 tasks planned - as you can see, when you open Task Scheduler.

    There is a fix for this problem with scheduled tasks that you can investigate:

    A nice person Dijji he named has already understood this problem and developed a method/nifty program to redress the scheduled tasks and people report that this method works very well and you can read about it here:

    It might help to better understand the problem if you read through the House and the Documentation tab first if you can walk through the repair process.  Note that there is a separate tab of Discussion where people report the successes, issues, questions and problems.  The Discussions are useful too when you read them and see what kinds of things people that you meet and how to fix them.

    Most of the errors are correctable. It's just that the BSOD errors are usually harder to fix than many others. Two reasons for this. One is that the system is usually more difficult with the result that the investigative process is hindered access. The other is that the initial error report indicates only the general nature of the problem and not the specific cause. If the system has been activated to provide a more detailed memory dump reports they can be analyzed. The problem for most users is that they do not have the computer skills to take on the task.

    Move to the specific problem you have. The document in the link below gives tips on the clues or pointers for the bug check code: 0xc000021a

    2 do you have added or removed any hardware or software during the period, shortly before the problem occurred. If Yes please provide details.

    3. are you able to access the computer in safe mode without the error occurring? My second link provides details on how to access safe mode if you have not done this before.
