0176 Security - The system has been tampered with

So the machine is a T40. It hasnt had any passwords for atleast the 2 years ive had it. The main battery has been bad and the cmos battery died recently (id assume the bad main battery helped it along).
After replacing the cmos battery (tested it with v-meter and it shows 3.23v) Im getting this error message. When I click ok to goto setup it asks for a password. But when I hit enter it lets me in without any problems. Its also never done this before the cmos battery died. 
Under security it says lock bios setting disabled. Power on and hard disk 1 also disabled. 
I thought to try to reset to defaults but when i press f9 it doesnt work. No idea if that key is broken, ive never used it. 
Bios info 3.21 (1RETDPWW)
Embedded version 3.04
Anybody have any ideas what to try? I know toshiba had a similar problem with some of there models but they included a cmos reset jumper pad on there motherboards to reset bios defaults. 
Ive seen thinkpads with all 0's on the UUID before when the boards were going but this one has a correct number in it. 
Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? Its a older machine so motherboard isnt really worth doing. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your T40 has a Supervisor password on it, that's why you can't reset defaults etc.
Dying of CMOS battery has brought that issue up, hence the error message.
Use it as-is, not much you can do short of swapping the motherboard.
Good luck.
Cheers,

  • Genius says my numbers don't match and the phone has been tampered with. Can anybody help?

    I have an iPhone4S 64Gb, which I bought from the Apple Store in Covent Garden in December 2011. Recently it developed a problem where it won't shut down (it restarts itself) and the battery life has deteriorated significantly. Having read about this in this Forum, this seems to be a known issue, and a replacement is needed.
    Sure enough, the Genius Bar at Covent Garden took one look at it and wanted to replace it. But then there was a problem. Apparently, one of the serial numbers on the phone (the chassis) does not match the ones on sim tray and software. The Genius (Barry) and his manager (Adam) both said that this could only be a result of tampering or non-Apple servicing. They say the chassis part comes from a batch which originated in Bulgaria.
    What??!!
    My phone has not been touched by anybody but me since I bought it in December. There's no way I would let a non-authorised dealer touch it - I know full well that it would void the warranty, wouldn't trust it, and anyway I've always had a really good Genius Bar experience. More importantly, it's been fine - no need.
    So, what then? Their hypothesis is that somebody has tampered with my phone without my knowledge. As is probably true for many iPhone users, my phone is not far behind my wedding tackle in the extent to which I am attached to it, indeed it spends a lot more time in my hand and line of sight. The idea that somebody could have had access to my phone for long enough to have opened it up and resealed it, having changed parts, without my knowing, is completely absurd. I just don't believe it.
    And why would they? If you're going to steal a phone, then steal it. Barry's theory is that some people steal legitimate serial numbers in order to qualify for Apple servicing. Really? Wouldn't they still have a phone with mismatched serial numbers that Apple then wouldn't touch? It seems utterly far-fetched.
    In short, I have no idea how Apple managed to supply me with what appears to be a dodgy handset. Supply chain failure, admin failure, I don't know. I know that it hasn't been 'serviced' by anybody, but I can tell that Barry and Adam don't believe me. They believe that the fact of mismatched serial numbers are incontrovertible evidence of tampering. (I'm minded to point out that they opened up the phone out of my sight, hence becoming the only people with the opportunity - and expertise - to do exactly what they're alleging has been done).
    The issue is now with Corporate Customer Servcies. I'm not hugely optimistic.
    Has anybody out there experienced anything similar? Can anybody offer any theories (preferably without straying into corporate conspiracy fantasies) as to how the numbers may have become mismatched?
    Grateful for any help.

    I'm still in "recovery mode" after a huge fight with our local Applestore.
    About 6 weeks ago, my wife's 13 month old iPhone 4S developed the "won't turn off" fault and was replaced, out of warranty, for a fee of £139 and with a 90 day warranty.
    About two weeks after that we realised that there was a sound problem when trying to use Facetime (the person on the other end couldn't hear us) but as we have ipads in the household, we didn't immediately persue it and assumed it was down to some setting problem.
    Two weeks ago my wife was shooting some video with the phone, something we hadn't done before and on playback there was no sound.  We realised then that the phone probably had hardware issues and arranged to take it back to the store for repair or replacement.
    I wasn't anticipating any problem when they said that it was a hardware issue and assumed that a replacement would be supplied.
    They looked inside an found that a dozen screws were missing and all the EM shielding that's normally screwed in place was also missing.  On this basis, they refused to repair or replace.  Things got a little tense after that.
    I KNOW that we didn't remove any parts.  I find it impossible to believe that even if a third party had obtained access to my wife's phone, that they would have opened the phone, removed the screws and EM screens (including the one that has the QR code serial number), put it back together and then returned it to its original position.
    As I repeated ad nauseum to the manager of the store, the only possible other option was that the phone was supplied in that condition.  After an hour and a half of arguing, sometimes quite loudly and refusing to leave the store until they replaced the handset, they caved in.
    I don't believe that Apple quality control is 100% accurate.  In fact I'm sure that no manufacturer's QC is.  How our handset slipped through the net I don't know but it did.
    I don't know whether this story will help you in any way but I hope you get your problem resolved

    You will need to post the exact message, although I would guess that the download was corrupted during download. Did you do it over a wireless network? It may be better to connect straight to the ethernet port and download from there or try going to

    Hello
    I have a VeriStand-Project (VSP) created with my Laptop-Host (LTH) which works with my PXI, while
    deploying it from my LTH. Then I have installed the whole NI enviroment for PXI and VeriStand use on a
    industrial PC (iPC). I have tried to deploy my VSP from the iPC to the PXI but the following error
    message arose on my iPC:

    The software versions of the NI products (MAX/My System/Software) between my LTH and the iPC are
    almost the same. The only differences are:
    1. LabView Run-Time 2009 SP1 (64-bit); is installed on LTH but missing on iPC. The iPC has a 32-bit system.
    2. LabView Run-Time 2012 f3; is installed on LTH but missing on iPC.
    3. NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.3.5; something strage on the LTH, because normally I am using NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 and all other DAQmx products on my LTH are 9.5.5. That means NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5.. On the iPC side all three products are 9.5.5.. That means NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.5.5, NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5..
    4. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4; The iPC has this SW installed. On the LTH this SW is missing.
    In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
    1. LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0.1
    2. NI-488.2 RT 3.0.0
    3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
    Unfortunately the above stated problem still arose.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    I found a hint on http://www.labviewforum.de/Thread-XNET-CAN-die-ersten-Gehversuche.
    There it is written to deploy the dbc file againt.
    If this is a good hint, so how do I deploy a dbc file?
    I would feel very pleased if somebody could help me! :-)
    Best regards

    Hi Lukas,
    I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
    NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
    NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
    You wrote:

    NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

  • Can't access EMS or Toolbox - get "load quota for the system has been exceeded" error

    I'm trying to run some commands on our CAS servers, and I'm getting the error "load quota for the system has been exceeded".  I'm running two CAS servers in an Exchange 2013 Standard Environment, running on Windows 2012 Standard servers. 
    Both my CAS servers are getting the error.  I also have two MBX servers, and I can access EMS on those just fine.
    I checked another thread that had a similar issue for Exchange 2010:

    However none of the fixes they described worked, and some of the fixes look like they're out of date.
    Here's the full error message.  It tries to connect to both CAS's, fails, and then connects to the first MBX it can.

    What’s the authentication settings on the powershell VD on the Back End Server. If the

  • The application has been package with a captive runtime

    Hello everyone,
    System config:
         Flash Pro CC
              Using AIR 13.0.0.95 for iOS
              Using AIR 13.0.0.95 for Android
    I was able to successfully test my app (DeveloperProv and DeveloperCert) and submit (DistributionProv and DistributionCert) to iTunes Connect Using Flash Pro CC > AIR to iOS. My app is currently waiting for review. I am good with the iOS part.
    Currently, I am trying to publish my APK, which I did and a get a window displaying "Adobe Flash Professional > The APK was package successfully, but a warning occured. Note: The application has been package with a captive runtime."
    The message is a bit confusing, first the APK is successful, and then a warning occurs. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this warning? Does it matter?
    Thanks in advance for any further discussion.

    Flash is just showing something that ADT reports. It's not an error, it's just an observation. You can't get rid of it, and no, it doesn't matter.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Report issue , logical name of the system has been changed

    Hi
    Recently our system has been upgraded to ECC5.0. In a particular report  while drilling down we get  error. The error says the original doc can not be shown as it belongs to logical system ( DRH-123) . Now we know that this logical name of the system was in old box . The new logical name is DRH-100 . We are saying it's a basis issue and the basis team is saying it's FICO issue.Has any body encountered this type of problem. ? In my report  i have never mentioned logical name of the system.Hence unable to understand it. But so far what I have understood , that the each box  has been partioned and given a system name which is called logical name.Now that logical name they have changed in new box.My initial response was change the logical name but basis says that is a big task and more over it has been a while when they changed it.
    Gurus, Kindly shed some light on this mess.
    Thanks in advance

  • TS4006 Is there any way to find a lost/stolen iPhone's most recent location, or to track if the iPhone has been activated with another Apple ID?

    The iPhone 5 was either lost or stolen, and it does not appear as online in the Find iPhone app. Can i access the last place it was online? And if i can't, is there any way to track my phone to see if the data was cleared and someone is using it with another Apple ID?

    The last known location is displayed for up to 24 hours, then it is cleared until it goes back online, if ever.  If the phone has been restored and reactived as a new device, or erased and set up with a different ID, it can no longer be tracked.

  • Mail has been tampered with and I don't know where to look

    I have a client who is going through a divorce and her soon to be ex-husband has tampered with her email on her Apple computer. She is running 10.5.2 and using the standard mail client. She noticed when she opens an email the email is forwarded automatically. No rules have been setup. There are no traces of the mail in the outbox or the sent messages folder yet she recieved some bounce messages saying emails weren't accepted due to virus/spam blocks. Where can I look to stop this forwarding action or what software would do this ? What logs can I look at ?

    I see two possibilities here:
    1. The situation is incidental. Do the messages she's getting the supposed bounce notifications for match ones she's actually received? The reason I put this first is that it wouldn't make sense to forward email to an address that's going to bounce, if the point is to spy on the emails. That would bring such activity to someone's attention immediately. If it doesn't seem to be happening to all messages, its likely this is actually the result of a spamming or phishing operation of some sort. Spammer spoof known valid email addresses, and thus you get bounces for messages you've never sent. A phishing tactic to harvest email accounts to use for spam has you get a supposed bounce notification, then you are offered a link to log in. The link of course does not lead to the actual mail site, and you provide your credentials to access the account which are then stolen.
    2. If the mail is being forwarded, it has been set up at the provider end, and not at the local computer. Most webmail providers now offer forwarding service, especially Gmail. If one were to have access to the account credentials, or even just one time were able to access the account from the person's computer, they could set up the forwarding with the email provider. Nothing would be required on the target's computer, and nothing there would be changed.

  • ATT says my 3G MicroCell has been tampered with!!

    I have had this unit for 3 months.  It worked for the first two months and then stopped working.  I called ATT to troubleshoot or replace unit and they said it was tampered with and that there was nothing they could do.   MY UNIT IS BRAND NEW. AND NEVER USED OTHER THAN PLUGGING IT IN AND UNPLUGGING IT.   I read that 6 pins come flying out to set this tamper alarm off.  My unit is in perfect condition.   If ATT thinks they can use this as an excuse to not return a device I am literally appallled.  I have been a customer for over 10 years.   David 

    Yeah something is not quite right. By brand new, did you buy it directly from AT&T or did you purchase it "new" off of eBay?
    The anti-tamper clips are inside and set in such a way so that if the unit is opened, it is very difficult to reseat them which renders the unit useless. The clips (at least on the white models) can come loose if the unit is dropped on the floor or knocked over (the cat knocked it over for example).
    So.....
    New from AT&T? IF so, which model (white or black)
    Does it rattle if you shake it gently?
    How did it stop working? (what is the problem).
    I believe the warranty on brand new, purchased from AT&T is one year so you would certainly qualify for a warranty replacement if it is a defective unit.
