  • Administrator Bios Password won't work on HP 4420s XT940UT#ABA Windows 7 64 Bit

    Someone please help me with this!!
    I bought this laptop from a friend (have a receipt) who sold it to me because the screen was cracked and all spidered out when you turned it on. Well everywhere he went to ask about getting the screen fixed it was very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said he would just get a newer laptop. So he sold me this one which is a HP4420s XT940UT#ABA Probook Model. About a week after I bought this Probook the friend who sold it to me died suddenly. This was sudden and terrible. Some time later I got around to buying the LCD screen for this model, replaced it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro edition 64 Bit. After installing all my software and using the laptop for quite some time now, I wanted to get into the Bios which I had never done. So when I started up the laptop, hit escape, then F10 to enter BIOS, there were two places to enter a password which is different then any Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees that I set up using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/Administrator. Well I can make most changes using the one I set up with my password however my password doesn't work nor can I get into some of the very important changes I wanted to make using the Bios/Administrator, like turning on the LoJack, figuring out the hard disk lock etc, turning on turbo boost, fan controls, etc. Well Since the person I bought it from is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to for the answer to this Administrator/BIOS password question / problem.  I tried taking out the Rtype battery and resetting it that way, didn't work. I called HP multiple times and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS I have already, wouldn't let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and put in BiosConfigureUtility.exe nothing happens, just tells me wrong command. When I try to get into the BIOS going through the C: file into the SSM files, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open and it just flashes a small command page way to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop figuring I have so much time and money invested into it now. Could the problem have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bit I guess it originally came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is Windows 7 Pro Ultimate 64 bit compatible so that's what I installed. I get mixed answers from a lot of different people on this and would like a answer from an HP person who has experience dealing with the BIOS in the Business models of Probooks if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since became a major fan of HP over Dell and Lenovo products.  I plan to buy two more probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, only better.  Thank you for reading this and hopefully someone can help. 
    Model: HP Probook 4420s
    Type: XT940UT#ABA
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate
    BIOS Version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20
    SM BIOS Version: 2.6
    Hardware Extraction Layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514

    once you log a support case with HP customer care, they will provide you once utility and steps to run it. which can capture the UUID. BTW- UUID is a unique ID for each machine (16 or more digits) stored in BIOS itself.
    Once the utility results(UUID and other info) in the log file, shared with HP. they can generate a key file(SMC) to reset.
    well, Technical support depertment can help you in it, no need to ask for any specific person or department.
    hope it helps.

  • Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue

    We have a Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue.
    We needed to turn on Bit locker in the Cisco Server VCS C220. To do this we needed to create an administrator password for the BIOS to turn on trusted Platform Module (TPM). After we set up the administrator password and turn on Security for TPM. We were prompted for the administrator password. It would not let us log in with the administrator password that we created for the BIOS. In the next few days we received a BIOS is corrupted screen (BIOS Flash Image Corrupted *****).We follow procedures to recover the BIOS with the USB stick with recovery .cap file in the root folder. We tried reseating the jumper pg. 35 of the Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server of the Installation and Service Guide.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/C220.pdf
    We were able to bring up the server, but we are still not able to get pass the Admin password issue. We tried to clear the CMOS header with Header J37 page 2-18 but we had no success with clearing out the password prompt. Figure 2-6 Service Header Locations shows the J41 BIOS RCVR boot and J37 Clear CMOS.
    Can anyone provide us documentation of where the pins are located on the motherboard to clear the BIOS password? We are looking for more of a detail picture of the pins please. The documentation is only showing a basic diagram of the header locations.

    You need to look at the CUCM logs for further info on what might have happened, and to make sure your servers are fit for the amount of users, devices, etc. you have in your environment.

When I turn it on, I get a beep and then a little blue screen saying "Enter Administrator Password or Power On Password" and I cannot enter the BIOS or boot into Windows.

  • Equium A100-338 BIOS Password

    Hi all,
    At first I want to tell, that my problem is fixed. I have A100 model and I was very happy since Feb 2007 when I bought it. I'm security maniac, so I putted passwords for everything: BIOS user, BIOS administrator, HDD, and few others :) Anyway, everything was OK until... my password wasn't working any more. I'm 100% sure about user, and admin password. So I tried reset BIOS and I took of battery for two days. Of course for nothing ;)
    So I called Toshiba Support and very nice person said, that this laptop will be collected from me, fixed, and then they will send it for me completely free. That was only because I bought extension warranty for three years.
    Laptop is fixed and now I have problem: put passwords again or no? This is the Question!
    I know, that this problem is with few models more too:
    Link: [Passwords errors in Toshiba laptops|http://ie.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq_selection.jsp?service=IE|Passwords errors]
    So what if password will crash again? Without any reason? And what?
    Have I send it every time to ASP and have I wait for three days?
    I need my laptop for work as well, so maybe Toshiba can fix it *PERMANENTLY* on every laptop?

    Hi
    I searched in the Toshiba knwowledg base mentioned in your message above but I didnt find any articles about the BIOS password issue on A100 notebook.
    I found some articles about Tecra A3 or Satellite A80 and this should be fixed by BIOS update.
