  • Definition of user and supervisor passwords

    I tried to set passwords user and supervisor via the Toshiba console (Security tab).
    If I register the password by entering a string of characters, I get the following message is displayed:
    "Error!" Illegal characters included in the new password".

    How can I fix this problem so I can put two passwords?

    Hi louis,.

    There was a problem in the past that users typed a user/supervisor password on windows with special characters as a and O. When they have restarted the laptop, they were unable to type these characters because the only universal characters as BIOS area a, b, c,... are accecpted!

    Then try to use a password with 'normal' characters and restart or you try to set the password directly in you BIOS. Enter the BIOS is simple (push start button and press ESC), then you can also use the functions BIOS!

    Hello

    The password of the BIOS and the supervisor password can be removed in the area of security of BIOS.

    Please also check this Toshiba document.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm

    In some cases, you need to press the "INS" in Toshiba logo appears.
    Then appears a prompt for the password for the supervisor and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key

  • 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.).

  • ThinkStation p300 supervisor password activated by the update of the BIOS - None previously defined

    I unpacked a new workstation p300 today and it works.

    The complete Windows 7 preinstalled.

    I logged on the Lenovo Web site and downloaded the latest version of the BIOS.

    After installation, I tried to set the BIOS settings to see that there is a prompt for the supervisor password where none had been defined previously.

    The workstation is the 30AG variant and BIOS installed is now FBKTCCA 24/11/2016.

    I've updated the BIOS with the Flash version of the operating system.

    The workstation now works normally except that I can not make any changes to the BIOS settings.

    What are the steps needed to solve this please?

    Welcome to the forum

    Page 55 of the P300 HMM will guide you through resetting the CMOS and clear the supervisor password. I would copy / paste instructions, but you will need to refer to the other pages in the manual and follow the diagrams to locate the clear CMOS jumper.

  • Portege M780 - supervisor password asked after sleep

    Hi all

    I think that hadou a bug in the BIOS M780. I put only a password the supervisor of all the 100 - odd machines we have. There are no other security settings enabled and when a computer falls into a deep sleep (ie. after a few hours) they get invited to enter the supervisor password when the awakening of the machine.

    All computers are running the latest version of the BIOS (2.10) and WIndows 7 64-bit. As we are a school we want to prevent children from starting from CD, etc..,.

    I have configured the Security section of the BIOS as follows;

    User password: not registered
    Supervisor password: saved
    HDD1/SSD1 Mode password: < user only >
    HDD user password: not registered
    TPM: disabled >

    Help or confirmation of the issue would be appreciated. See you soon!

    UPDATE: I have since discovered that the problem exists when waking up from hibernation, no sleep. I disbaled it via Group Policy for the management of the "Balanced" diet that has solved my problem now, although this behavior should not yet happen.

    Where I can find all the drivers and all the utility for Win 7.

    Your laptop is not model portable American and you must use drivers of European support page.
    For now, Toshiba has not begun support Win7, but I hope it will happen soon. The question is if your laptop model will be supported Win7.

    In any case, I think you can use touchpad driver designed for A300, but it takes that Toshiba offers all drivers.

  • Invalid supervisor password satellite A60-124 HELP Please!

    I put a supervisor password, while I was on Windows xp.
    I wanted to put the password: "nonhyj14 'but I failed & entered' nonhyj &'". It's stupid because I'm a student in computer science. I have no shift key before pressing button 1 & 2 buttons. So when I started my laptop, windows not started and there is no start. Immediately after the message "in contact with toshiba" I saw "password:". I entered "nonhyj &'"but due to the fact that the characters"&"and"'" are special (that's what I read after I put my password probably not in my laptop documents) my password didn't work. So I would like to know:
    -If it is normal that windows will not start before I have to enter the supervisor password
    -What can I do to access my computer? is there any generic password I could get? I read the password of the bios that the solution is on the hardware side, but I don't want to open my computer is brand new. Should I send my computer to the toshibarepair?
    Please I need help & I apologise for my strange English

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU. Is there someone who can help me?

    Hello Hana

    If someone has to take care of the warning, it's Microsoft. They offer something new and they know with certainty that he could have different negative influence on the operating system running well.

    Toshiba may just try to react and change has tools and utilities, but it's not easy. you will see that soon or later Toshiba will offer updates for all non-working stuff. The same is with WXP SP2.

    I would ask you for help. I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 laptop and 4 years when I install it for the first time, I wonder "supervisor password". I entered my private password and everything was fine. Now, I want to change my internal HARD drive. After upgrading the HARD drive I wonder the supervisor password in a black screen directly after pressing the power button. The problem is that the suppervisor password was entered in windows mode using some Czech special characters "?" (the password is containing these characters). The portable wonder for the supervisor password using a 'back' as intrface - black screen and the blinking cursor and I'm not able to enter these characters Czechs. Can you help me how to do? I'm not able to work with my laptop.

  • Satellite A100-206 supervisor password problem

    Hello

    We have a Satellite A100-206 at the office.

    A colleague trying to protect the laptop set the user password in the bios.
    I do not exactly know what she does but at startup is asked for a password.

    Then she ask me to remove the password so I typed the password, management of the bios and clear the user password.
    But it is, I also noticed that the supervisor password was already defined but not selectable (gray color).

    In any case, I've saved and restart.
    The problem is that now the OS start without asking for a password, but I can't enter the bios because it asks for a password and is not that of the colleague don't forget to have it fixed.

    Why can't I get more into the bios of th as a user?
    I also find the hwsetup in windows re set the password of the user as shown in the manual, but this software is not present.

    You can remove the password in HWsetup?

    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.
