W510 password remove works: additional queries

Dear Lenovo community:

I'm trying my Lenovo W510 unit renovation and I try to delete all passwords that are in the system right now.

However, after that I removed the supervisor password, the BIOS does not recognize the password market that I get when I try to remove it. After 3 failed tries it locks, and I reboot - only to discover that the power on password is still in place.

My supervisor password is the same as the password turned on, so I don't understand why it has not recognized the password when I tried to enter.

I'm tempted to achieve the solution that the W510 Lenovo's manual provides to remove password power on, but I am concerned because I still have to delete the password from the user's HARD drive. I understand that this password is embedded in the firmware of the drive and not the motherboard, 'reset' BIOS will interfere with the HARD drive password as well? I'm afraid I don't know the password for the HARD drive, I don't want to be faced with the situation where after resetting the BIOS and by removing the market past the option to delete the HARD drive password turns gray outside and the HARD drive will be gone forever. This will happen?

In addition, is the password to the market becoming 'rogue' after the removal of the supervisor password a known issue? Is it anything to solve this problem?

Thank you

If there is a HARD drive password, you can reset if you have the HDD password and the PW controller. Please note that there are 2 HDD PWs, user and master. They are often/usually the same

  • Question about the Satellite A200 bios password removal

    Hello.
    I own a Satellite A200 - 1 KB which has a password on startup and I would like to delete the password.
    I tried to get into the bios setup but I can't turn it off from there and I tried holding the ESC and hold left SHIFT to start but didn't work as well.

    If someone could help woul be great...

    Hello

    Unfortunately you won´t get here of secret advice on the deletion of bios passwords because the passwords were intended to protect a computer from unauthorized access. Thus, the password for the BIOS of your laptop is more often sunk that leads to the only solution:

    Contact an authorized service partner and let the button remove the password. But don't forget that you will be charged since the removal of the password of the BIOS is not covered by the warranty. Each manufacturer made this way, otherwise it would be easy to steal a machine, ask someone from a forum, and then use the stolen computer.

    You know what I mean? Here´s a link to find the closest available ASP in your country:

    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.  Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.  Enter the current password and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.

    Recently, an additional icon that resembles the browser (Earth) icon appeared in my icon page.  It says Mobile of NASCAR Sprint Cup, I don't even like NASCAR... lol... I tried, and if sprint technicians tried everything... Cannot remove it. We have removed the maintenance for this icon book and he returned whenever there is a reboot or battery pull. I tried to install it, hoping that it works... He moved says "error HTTP 404: not found.» This page you are trying to load is not found. Please try loading a different page.  That I have and that's technicians, we tried uploading directly from the site of sprint store, hoping once downloaded, this icon disappears... Then we could delete, but nothing. I wouldn't mind just hide this darn icon, but since it's appearance, it freezes a few apps. They sent me another one BB and the same thing appeared. I am at a loss... It's the sprint technicians. I want this icon... HELP Please

  • How can I remove the addition of vidxo

    I clicked on a link, while using firefox, I am usually extremely careful what I click on, and as soon as I clicked on the link I wanted, another window pops up and it was a kind of guardian of mac or cleaner. I clicked on the 'X', but who sent me to a sort of genieo, and since then, I get these vidxo pop ups only when I'm in firefox and I can't get rid of genieo. I went through the manual process of elimination genieo and who won't go away either. I also removed firefox, rebooted, installed firefox, but that did not work. Infact, I don't think that firefox has been really uninstalled because if it did, how he did remember my custom home pages.

    Please help.

    In fact just, I went into my profile and took a look at directories and files inside. I've seen tons of files and directories related to genieo, vidxo and Mozilla/Firefox (and other files plist that after a little research, I didn't need at all), so I deleted them. I restarted my Mac, reinstalled Firefox, import my favorites saved, and that did the trick.

    Your profile suggestion woul have worked as well. I do not start in safe mode, but it is always a smart thing to do. Thanks for the reply.

  • Admin password stopped working in the Terminal

    Just found on sudo no longer accepts my admin password in the Terminal. I'm guessing that it happened when I upgraded to OSX 10.11.4. Someone has an idea how to solve this problem short execution of the Combo update, even if only it will fix.

    Your Admin password works elsewhere?  Is the rejection of password specifically with sudo and not (also) some other components of Mac OS X?   If the password work elsewhere and only not to sudo, then create a new administrative user, connect to this new user, launch Terminal.app here and see if sudo works there.

    Your administrator password is empty?  If so, replace it with a valid, non-empty password, then try again sudo.

  • My master password stopped working and the reset did not fix it.

    My master password had been working perfectly. All of a sudden it stopped working. It might have coincided with the installation of SP1 Win7. I have reset the password (although this will create a lot of work) and it still does not work. Loading Firefox ver 5 did not help either.

    Which also happens if you open the password manager?
