ThinkPad T430 cannot change order of Bios Boot

last day, I just bought new thinkpad T430 machine, when I try to change the boot order priority by default in the BIOS, the menu is disable, I can't change anything. Is - this thinkpad T430 came with default supervisor password? Did anyone here knows the default value of the supervisor password?

FYI, when I try to enter the BIos, it asks for the password, and I just press ENTER to access the bios.

Thank you

Hey Ferrym and welcome to the forums.

If you check in the BIOS under boot, what does say beside the command lock Boot? If it is enabled, you can change this for are disabled? Thanks Ferrym.

  • Portege R200 cannot set on the BIOS boot sequence

    Hi all.

    Our R200 entered mode of hibernation after that the battery power is low, then by some unfortunate twist of fate, the battery got deleted accidentally. Now it does not start correctly because every time it displays a BSOD stating Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

    I could solve this problem easily by disabling the hiberfil.sys file, which is the reason for the BSOD, if only I could change the boot order. Unfortunately, enter the BIOS, I am only able to access the first page where the only editable elements are time, date, and passwords. Pressing Pageup and Pagedn does nothing. The BIOS is updated to the last appearing on this site.

    Pressing F12 or F2 when the toshiba logo and icons appear does nothing no more. It's a HARD disk 1.8 "and there are no adapters available in our region. I can boot from a CD if and only if I take the HD. But then, it is useless since I can't fix it like that. It is not recognized if I it reconnect after booting. When I reboot, it does the BSOD thing again. It is becoming a frustrating cycle.

    I scoured these forums for other ways to boot from the CD and apply the suggestions, like hitting 'c', nothing helps.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • ThinkPad 13 - cannot enter the UEFI BIOS without entering the W10 first

    I have a brand new 13 Thinkpad which I'm really pleased.  However, the user manual seems to be wrong.  I can't enter the UEFI BIOS in F1.

    It seems that the only way to get into the BIOS is first go to W10 and make a shift/reboot or a restart/F1.

    OK, suppose that at some point in the future I need to access the BIOS (ex: changing boot options) and is not a job W10 or perhaps corruption W10.)

    How to enter BIOS without first W10? BIOS maybe consulted independent of the operating system?

    Hello and welcome,

    It is by design.  "Shutdown" in Win 10 more resembles the hibernation and it is not safe change hardware/BIOS setup in this State.

    F1/F12/ENTER should be available after a boot failure or a forced shutdown via a long press on the power button.

    BTW, UPDATE/restart and restart should just do the same thing. SHIFT button should cause a real stop after a followed Fx market should work.

  • 23 - d160qd envy: new motherboard, now empty screen and 6 beeps. Cannot change the legacy BIOS. Help!

    Good ladies and Gentlemenof the Interwebulars, I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

    Walked down one day to see that my computer would not start. A diagnosis which in a bad power port. Got a new motherboard because after desoldering (or that's what I tried to do) I realized that it was small to (re) welding in and I could not find the right part to reorganize.

    so I got a new motherboard. The number replacement part direct. Barefoot on my floor wood and ESD wrsitband on, I put in this bad boy. Double and triple check things and connections. Go to hit the power button and I get 6 beeps and 6 flashes of correspopnding of the powerbutton. The system does not appear to be on, fan is running with the other sounds of starting and running sounds, but I have a white screen and orange electric button. If I tap CTRL + ALT + DELETE it will restart and begin the process again. The 6 beeps by HP standards denotes missing graphics / card error. My original motherboard had a built-in graphics card so I thought that the same new part number card mother too. Obviously not. so I had a Geforce 2Go MXM graphics card update with heat sink. Barefoot, wood floor, bracelet ESD, thermal paste and turn it on to hear... SIX BEEPS AND SCREEN WHITE.

    After Googling around, some people say that I have to enter the BIOS and change boot legacy and fashion out of the UEFI mode that's killing me right now. I have join and would completely if I could see my screen of the BIOS, or anything for that matter. I can not go back also to my other card because it will not feed. So my question; How to make or change the BIOS settings so that my computer will recognize a graphics card or internal graphic that should be on the new motherboard itself so that it starts?

    I need this computer for CAD work soon so I thought help processor i7, 8GBs RAM, Geforce card and touch screen to perform a generation of PC.  So if someone has a great idea they would projected upward on this post, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

    Your computer is not posting, sound rather give an error message in the form of 6 beeps and red LED flashing, indicating graphics / video issue.

    You can never get into the BIOS of the device, if its not posting, not on a HP Desktop atleast.

    I recommend, you disconnect all components and fittings connected to the motherboard i.e. cables SATA, power cables, RAM, processor, heatsink, power supply and battery CMOS as well.

    Now, press and hold button power unit for a minute or two., with the power and everything is still disconnected.

    Then,.

    (1) Insert the battery CMOS back into its slot, install the processor and the heat sink, connect all cables power that goes to the motherbaord in the PSU and CPU and etc., less SATA cable and cable power to drive hard and Optcal drive and turn on the device, of course after you have connected the rear power cable.

    (2) check if the machine beeps and check whether it is 5 times.

    (3) If yes install a memory in the first slot (slot black), connect the monitor and turn on the power and check if there is no video output.

    (4) if so, connect the return which is always disconncted, to their respective locations and ports and turn them the unit on and get on with your CAD stuff.

    IF NO,

    2 options:

    (1) if the unit is still under warranty, call 1800-474-6836 and have a technician on-site visit your place and replace the parts needed for the operational unit.

    (2) or the motherboard you purchased could have been Dead On Arrival. Get a warranty replacement for the DOA mobo and re install a new Board of Directors.

    Good luck!

  • T430: Cannot change the GPU using the NVIDIA Control Panel

    Hello world

    I recently bought a T430 including a NVIDIA NVS 5400 M. games graphics card (for example, Max Payne 3) used to run fast, using the NVIDIA GPU. Today, I tried to play a video game once more (after having not played for several weeks). Unfortunately, my OS (Win7, 64-bit) assigns the GPU from Intel, resulting in a much lower speed. Using the NVIDIA Control Panel, I can't change my favorite GPU (changes will not be saved). I already run a update of Lenovo and installed the latest graphics driver (296.88), which resulted in no improvement.

    When you start a game, I can choose my graphics manually, but I would like to configure some general settings using the control panel.

    Do you have any solutions?

    Thank you very much.


  • Cannot change order of stroke and fill to the text

    In Illustrator CC, I have a text with background colors and contour, and I hang outside the text, not half-n-half. From what I can read (for example Why can't fix us a line of text to the outside (as in InDesign) without having to first convert them into text vectorized?), the way to do that is in the appearance Panel, dragging filling to the top or the race down. But they don't change places when I try - I drag, but nothing changes. And in the Panel advanced stroke, the second and third options to align the lines appear dimmed.

    If I saw the text, then all the choices to align the shots are allowed, but I prefer to do it with the living text. Is this possible?

    It should work as follows:

  • Cannot change the boot sequence in the bios

    Hello world!

    I use vmware fusion 3.1.1 (282344) (in fact has happened since I started from 3.0). A home edition of Windows XP is installed in the bootcamp partition and is used as the guest operating system. When I start Windows XP, it always first try to boot from the network, which takes about 1 min (this can be ignored by hitting the ESC key however). Even if I enter the bios settings, the starting sequences is not editable, where "everything on this menu is not editable in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system"is written. However, no password supervisor and of course, I'm not using the 'user '. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    PS: a full Linux guest OS (installed in fusion and is wrapped up as a file) has no problem to change the boot sequence.

    Best regards

    PrestonXu

    All items of this menu cannot be changed in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system

    Weird, I never heard of this message before. You get this when you start merging, not in native mode? I would have asked if someone had made changes to the BIOS settings until you got to the virtual machine, except that you said it's Boot Camp, so I think it's less likely.

    You can try to change the boot order in the Virtual Machine > settings > advanced > boot device.

    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.

    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.

  • HP ENVY Phoenix 860-000nd: cannot change bios Phoenix language - utility Configuration BIOS HP - HP ENVY 860-000nd

    Hello

    trying to change the language of the BIOS, the Bios HP Configuration utility, but get the error code 6 - access denied (failed due to permissions of the BIOS).

    BIOS version is vA0.08 THI.

    I can read (get) successfully, but cannot change any settings... tried to change other settings to no avail.

    What Miss me? Should I first set a password?

    Hi there @mucckki,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that you want to change the BIOS language on your system in current Dutch English.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    Was the Dutch language that the BIOS was set to out of the box or he later changed in Dutch?

    If original default systems was English, you can try to look at the motherboard of your system guide. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, Thimphu. At the bottom of the page is an indicator for the riders for the BIOS and CMOS password. If your default language was English, you can use the jumper to clear the current CMOS settings, including language.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

    my best guess it that windows update to 8.0 (100) killed this "feature".

    or my 8.1 updated. (toss the coin)
