• Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

  Hello

  I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

  BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

  Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

  Hi, ctenorman

  I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

  Good luck and let me know how it goes

• I'm trying to set a password on my administrator account. The message "Windows cannot set a password" appears. WHY?

  Why WINDOWS usually allow me to set a password on my own administrator account?

  Hi KristinMarker,

  ·         Which version and edition of the operating system is installed on the computer?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer, after which the issue started?

  In the meantime, try the following steps and check if it helps:

  (Applicable to limited editions of Windows)

  a. right click on "Computer" (Windows Vista or Windows 7) or "My computer" (Windows XP) and click on 'Manage' to open computer management.

  b. in the left pane, expand 'System tools', and then expand local users and groups.

  c. now click on "users".

  d. in the right pane, right-click on your user name and select Properties.

  e. uncheck "user cannot change password".

  f. click Ok and then close the computer management console.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot set the password for user connection in Vista Home Basic

  My laptop (running Vista SP2) has no password on the user account. Guest account is disabled and my user account is administrator.

  I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
  AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
  I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

  "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

  Any ideas what to do here? I tried searching online and through this forum but have been unable to find someone who had the same problem, and even less it is solved!

  I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

  I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

  I also took a screenshot of the thing that MSE found after analysis is complete on my system.

  I solved this problem!

  The problem was caused by HP - something that was installed on my laptop security manager because I bought - I never used and had no idea he was running. I discovered this when I decided to upgrade my operating system to Windows 7. I was running a tool to check if the software I had installed is compatible for the upgrade; It turns out that the HP Security Manager is not compatible with W7, and when I uninstalled it I followed a hunch that it might interfere with my account - tried by adding a password and he succeeded!

  I was also able to install Sophos and it works properly now.

  I've always upgraded to Windows 7 in the end, but it was nice to be able to solve this problem (even if it took me Age to understand!) Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

• Cannot set passwords to disk for Qosmio G30

  I tried in vain to find documentation on how to do it-using the method F2 to enter the bios options never works, I tried to use config assist / utility password and cannot find any option. I updated the bios to 1.70

  Does anyone know how to access the bios to activate the hard disk password feature?

  If you don't see this option, I assume that it is simply not available. Sorry, but I don t have any other explanation. Verification of user manuals is there anything in password disk HARD on Qosmio G30. Did you also check?

  By the way: I'm not 100% sure but I think that HARD drive password protection is only on professional available Portege and Tecra laptop computer, not on a portable multimedia Qosmio series.

• Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

  Hello!

  -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

  I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

  Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

  Thank you!

• Cannot get rid of the BIOS password

  Bought an ACER Aspire E1 from an EBAY of ACER store about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I started it and quickly received a BIOS PASSWORD entry. Since that time, the laptop was absolutely worthless. I guess I tried the hardware, software, battery and all I could think of to fix the problem. I tried the MICROSOFT forums. ACER, ASK.COM Forums and forums Forums, forums, forrums and other forums that I could think of to try to resolve the unknown BIOS password. Thanks UEFI.

  I guess short of replacement of the EEPROM on the motherboard (don't think even that would help) which I'd be suspicious to do.

  Cannot get rid of the BIOS password.

  If I contact the ACER Support, they say that it's a hardware problem. I tried (as suggested by ACER support), bringing to STAPLES, BESTBUY, FRYS ELECTRONICS, OFFICE MAX, DATA DOCTORS, and several other 'Repair computer facilities' nothing works.

  IN a WORD, it's a PIECE OF a $400 trash...

  If anyone has any ideas on how to reslove this issue, send me an E-mail, fax, text. or post a reply...

  Thanks for letting me the WIND...

• Cannot set password when you deploy vMA 5.0

  Hey all -

  Okay, I have looked around and can't seem to find anyone else with this problem.  I have jusy deployed a bifurcation brand new VMA 5.0, but I can't deploy it as I'm stuck setting vi-admin password on initial startup. For each password that I get, I get "Sorry, the passwords do not match."  Now, I tried this dozens and dozens of times, with different passwords, had other people are trying to set the password, all to nothing does not.  Note that this has nothing to do with the complexity of password; who spits a different error message.  Anyone who encountered this? Is there a way around this part to deploy?

  Thinking that the error may be with the "Old Password", I tried just hitting < return > for the old password, as well as "admin", "vi admin", "vmware" and a few other common assumptions, but it is only out of desperation that what I found in the docs and online indicate that the default password is empty.  ARGH!  Any help or suggestions would be welcome!

  Thank you

  -c

  PS - one thing I have to do during the deployment was disable VAPP (settings-> Options-> TIME), so that I could do to turn it on without creating an IP pool. I don't see how this could be a problem (and cannot depend on the virtual machine without doing!).

  I think I know what you may be facing, take a look at this VMware KB on repeat the http://kb.vmware.com/kb/196 character because you typed a password, you can't really see, but I think it's your problem (I been faced with this before as well)

• Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected.

  I can't get the start menu appears in safe mode then I have botted on a cd with the command prompt and when I type chkdsk/r, so, it gives me "windows cannot run disk checkingo n this volume because it is write protected."  Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

  If you encounter a problem that you need help, follow these steps:

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

  If you just want to start by running chkdsk /r on your hard drive (a good idea), I would follow the instructions below:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix all the problems.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

  Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Full encryption of the disk, hard disk password?

  Hey,.

  I just got my T530 (2359CTO) and need to encrypt the hard drive. When I bought it, I opted (among other reasons) for Windows 8 Professional because it comes with BitLocker. I then discovered that some ThinkPads have hard disks that support hardware encryption (FDE).

  I tried to figure out if the mine has this feature, but had no luck. The BIOS gives me the option to set a password for hard drive, but I'm not positive that it crypt actually the hard drive with this setting. Could someone shed some light on

  (a) how to determine if my hard drive takes in charge the hardware encryption

  (b) how to activate

  Thank you!

  disk password is not related to the disc encryption. Your computer has been configured to order. If you purchased the Lenovo machine, unless you specify FDE, you haven't
