• Switch Cisco 2960/3560 = > recovery password and default settings with the button Mode

  Hi Experts,

  I have some confusion with the button Mode with cisco 2960/3560 switches.

  I read on many forums and articles, but where things are not clear.

  a place given 3 seconds and somewhere is given 7 or 10 seconds.

  Qus1), what is the exact time to press/hold Mode button to perform two following tasks:

  A. password recovery (according to my knowledge 3 sec) good or bad?

  Configuration of the switch (start + run) would be safe

  After the recovery of password? Yes or no

  B. factory default (according to my knowledge 10 dry) good or bad?

  I'm afraid, because if I press mode button more than 3 seconds, then

  It will delete any configuration of cisco switch. Yes or no

  Qus2) I want to recover the catalyst 2960/3560 switch password without

  Start/run configuration to lose. That is my main concern.

  Please tell me how to do this, what will be the time keeping Mode buttom

  in a few seconds?

  Qus3) which means this line

  "If the password recovery mechanism is disabled in switch

  then you will lose all the config.

• Tecra A10 - cannot change the settings of the BIOS with supervisor password enabled

  Hello
  I activated a supervisor for 1.50 acpi BIOS password.

  Since then, I am not able to change the settings (for example etc. - the right of the screen of the BIOS boot order does no more).
  I access the bios with pressing ESC on the boot process, then F1 when prompted "" check system, then press [F1] key. Problem is that I don't ask the supervisor password.
  There should be a prompt for the supervisor password, but it's not. So I am not able to connect as a supervisor.
  I know I can manually change the boot sequence by pressing F12 during startup, but this strict solve my problem.

  THX in advance

  Have you tried to update the BIOS? On the Toshiba site, I can find a newer version that you have right now. Check it!

  Before setting a supervisor password load default settings in the BIOS and then you can set the password and try again. Maybe it works.

• Re: password of supervisor Portege R700 BIOS

  Hello

  I am the proud owner of a R700, at least so far.
  This morning, I would try to protect my laptop with a startup password.
  So I implemented a supervisor password and restarted my computer.
  It has two drawbacks:
  First of all, there is no password start not required and secondly if I push the F2 key to encode it startup, the computer will immediately restart...

  How can I enter the BIOS again and how to configure a start-up password?
  And, if possible, how to set up a password for fingerprints at boot time?

  Thank you very much
  Sébastien

  Hello

  Try pressing ESC then F1 to access the BIOS.
  There you can change or remove the password user and supervisor.

• X 1 carbon - cannot unlock the Bios settings

  Hello!

  For testing purposes, I set a supervisor password and put a lock on the Bios settings. Since then I can't access the settings because I have never asked the supervisor password. The biometric characteristics are activated. So when I restart and press F1 I get into the bios without beeing asked a password but I can't change the values.

  You associate your fingerprints with the supervisor password?  Another option instead of dragging your finger please press ESC and then manually type the password, I hope it will work.

• Satellite L300: Supervisor password problem

  I just bought a Satellite L300 and installed all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.

  I created the user password in the wizard from Toshiba and once I configured the SUPERVISOR PASSWORD.

  But when I tried to enter in the Bios after reboot, the work of doesen't password and in the window when trying to change the user password, it also asks supervisor password and it still says: PASSWORD INCORECT.

  What can I do?
  And why this has happened?

  Hi mate,

  I think that in this case only an auhtorized service provider can help you. If you ave you forgot your supervisor or typed wrong password it can only be removed from an ASP.

  Here, on the site of Toshiba, you can find a list of the ASP s:

• forget my supervisor password, where can I find it? Please

  Have been sick and now I'm back on my machine. I do not have my written EXCEPT my SUPERVISOR password and I can't remember it! My clue is 'ME' and I'm Robert James Cooledge. Please can tell me how to find out what it is?

  A 'supervisor' password looks more like a password associated to hardware for Windows.  I know for sure that IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad computers have of 'Supervisor' passwords which are difficult but not impossible reset.  That's what said Lenovo:
  A supervisor password will prevent access to the BIOS ThinkPad configuration utility. To regain access, the system must be maintained to have the map system and replaced hard drive. Proof of purchase is required, and this repair is not covered by the warranty.

  As with most computer related things, there are several ways to skin this particular cat, but the Microsoft policy ban someone in this forum to provide such notices other than think more difficult on your indicator (initials, birthday, a combination of this information, etc.).
