Tecra A8 - password at startup asked
I have a laptop that I want to format and reload (ed), but when I start it, it shows the Toshiba screen, then immediately the black screen asking password, won't even close to starting Windows.
Laptop:
Toshiba Tecra A8
Here is what I tried already after reading some discussions:
1 hold down shift left when turn
2. Insert the floppy bootable (Linux Mint) and press F12 to screen Toshiba
3. Insert the boot disk (Linux Mint) and press 'c' to the Toshiba screen
4. Insert the boot disk (Linux Mint) and press ESC when you are powering on
5. replace the HARD drive with my own
None of the foregoing leads to something different than the original problem.
If anyone can help will be highly appreciated!
What is this password looks like a BIOS password?
If yes then you have bad chances... the point is that you won't be any table to remove this password without additional assistance from Toshiba ASP.
I don't know why the BIOS password is requested but the ASP should remove this password and update the BIOS to avoid additional questions.
Then, contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.
Good luck

Pavilion p6641f: password at startup before windows opens
My PC seems to have been hacked and asks for a password at startup until I get even on windos 10 screen. I don't know what to short of a system restore... I have upgraded to Windows 10 last year, but my computer came with Windows 7 when I bought it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

It has been hacked.
It is the SYSKEY password.
You should try to restore to an earlier date before you start.
Most of the time, they remove all restore date to prevent you from doing this.
If this is the case, then you will need to do a full system restore.
Sorry Rafael.

WIN8: backup program and password at startup
I have a brand new model Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b013cl running under 64-bit Windows 8. Two questions:
(1) Win7 was a program of restoration that could create a disk image with full backup, but Win8 seems to have just a file by file backup system that excludes the files of the OS. A more capable backup program comes on this computer?
(2) I have configured the computer to not require a password at startup, but it is still asking one. When I start I see a screen with the date and time - I have to click on it and then the machine asks me a password. How can I go directly to the home screen when I start?
Your welcome,
I don't think that you must earn 8 Pro to save to an external drive.
I suggest opening a new thread with this question, which gives a better chance to see and to be able to give more information about the HP Experts.

How can I find temporary "password protect - startup."
I had recently 3 used dell computers with a mortgage company of bankruptcy to help out them of their office, their home & hung and EVERYTHING! of them are password at startup (windows xp pro), how do I go beyond, or reset the passwords, so I can use them?
I'm surprised say the least, that such an undertaking would give you computer without safely erasing hard drives. Of course, if they had done this, the computer must not fill even a boot sequence.
This aside:
- One who organized the transfer of computers for you contact and ask the relevant passwords.
These methods to restore the computer in their configuration provided by Dell. All programs and user files added after that will be deleted.
- If you have the CD or DVD media which would have allowed Dell, use appropriate disks to restore instructions of Dell computers.
- If the machines are essentially as expected, try a restore to the restore hard disk partition: press F11 as the computer starts.
- Get a CD or DVD under license for the operating system of your choice and use it to remove the present partitions on the hard drive and install a completely fresh OS. Visit Dell for the device drivers needed for machines.
If you don't have the CD or DVD's concerned, they are available from Dell support.
There are various methods of password recovery detailed on various web sites. Make a Bing or Google search. Note that the use of such methods to access the data that you have no right to access or use or access to the programs for which you have no copyright or other rights of access or use could result in sentences and legal pain.

Well, there is nothing to see. I guess the camera asking BIOS password and it of not possible to remove the BIOS password without knowing the old.
If you n t know the password the only way to remove it is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. Only the ASP can remove this password. -
Portege M400: Why am I not asked a password at startup?
Hello
I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba security software help put in place a the BIOS boot password, but also a protection of HARD drive password. This software, as well as the true BIOS (Esc + F1 at startup) show that the password I set is recorded or recognized.
However, I'm not really asked any of these passwords when I start the computer.
I have a system to dual-boot with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions and one Feisty Ubuntu on another. My boot loader is GRUB, but I do not understand why this should affect the behavior of the BIOS which should arrive before calling the bootstrapper...
Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.
Thanks in advance,
dsokus1. check your security settings with password for Toshiba utility. Are these these configured correctly?
2 you have the user or supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password that you are not prompted for the password.
3. try to put the HDD and user pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).
