BIOS password (power-on password) replacement by fingerprint on x61s

Hello, just bought x61s (type 7669) and want to know whether (and how) I can set fingerprint login for power-on password.
Thanks
On Lenovo web I found only "BIOS password (also known as power-on password) replacement is currently available on select ThinkPad notebook systems" which is not really helpful for me

hi snowbuk,
try this:
1. set the power-on password within bios (save and reboot)
2. go to "ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software"->fingerprints->register fingerprints->power-on password
and add a new fingerprint (click on empty field above windows password)
3. check "ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software"->security with power-on->
and enable using fingerprints for startup (save and reboot system)
plz check whether this works

Enter BIOS by tapping F10 immediately after powering on to enter BIOS. You may need to tap Esc key first, then F10 at the menu.Once into BIOS under Security disable all passwords by entering your current password and leave the new password blank. Save & Exit

Thinkpad A21m BIOS Password

Hi everyone.
My dad's got a Thinkpad A21m and i can't access the BIOS because it's password protected. Since he doesn't remember which password he's put there, I thought opening up the laptop and disconnecting the small battery would be enough to reset the BIOS, but now it's worse! Now he's asking me to recheck time and date settings in the BIOS, still asking me for a password! So, basically, now i can't even access the OS. Is there any way i can reset the password? Or have i done that and now he's asking me for a default password, which i don't know?
Could anyone please help me out on this?
Message Edited by ejmoreira on 05-02-2009 12:03 PM

ejmoreira, welcome to the forum,
your father will need to remember which password was set, removing the bios battery has prompted the request for the supervisor password. There are no default passwords which will help.
The only other suggestions we can offer you here are that you look in the Maintainance Manual, which explains about passwords, and replace the mainboard, or contact service or a service partner in your area.
I'm sorry; this subject is not allowed to be discussed here as stated in the forum rules and I have to lock the thread.
No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms, fingerprint scans, etc, nor shall any posts provide descriptions to the location of, nor direct links to content related to these topics.

Y510p bios password attempts

Hi,
I have a problem with my bios password. I am not sure about it. I am pretty sure that if I had more attempts i would gues it, because I use only few passwords. I have read, that in some BIOS versions it is possible to try the password again after three wrong gueses, if you restart the laptop. I do´t want to get my notebook blocked, so the question is if it is possible in this version (74CN44WW).
I need to dualboot ot at least virtualboot Linux, but without the password is is not possible.
Solved!

adolf15,
I've not seen a Lenovo implementation of BIOS password that would permanently disable the system after X number of failed attempts. On older ThinkPads that I have used, you got 3 tries and if you got it wrong 3 times it was locked until you powered off and then you could restart and try again 3 times, etc.
This was for the power on password.
If you can never remember it, then a board replacement would be required. But, as far as I know, trying multiple times would not cause you to need to replace the board.

HP 550 BIOS PASSWORD

Good afternoon,
i have a hp 550 (product number: FS328AA#B1A).
When i try to enter BIOS it asks me for a password which I don't know. I looked on the papers they gave me when i bought it but i can't find any
Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance

Hi, Alex:
There is only one way to remove the BIOS password in a HP 6910p notebook and that is to:
1. Unplug the notebook from the A/C adapter.
2. Remove the main battery.
3. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
4. Unplug the wire from the RTC (CMOS) battery to the motherboard. The RTC battery is under the keyboard.
Leave the CMOS battery unplugged for 30 minutes before proceeding with step 5.
5. With both the CMOS and main batteries still disconnected, plug the notebook to the A/C adapter and turn it on.
In other words you only want to run the notebook with the ac adapter, without the main and cmos batteries connected.
6. BIOS password should be cleared.
7. Shut down the notebook and re-connect the cmos and main batteries.
If the above method fails to clear the BIOS password, then the previous owner selected the Stringent Security option in the BIOS which will not allow the BIOS password to be cleared, and you will have to live with not being able to enter the BIOS, or you will have to replace the system board.
Please refer to the 6910p service manual on the notebook's support and driver page if you do not know how to remove the keyboard.

Hi, If your machine is producing a hexadecimal halt code, this would indicate it has a more recent AMI bios, in which case, you only have two options at the moment.
1. Contact HP and see if they can help with an unlock code - start Here.
2. It would appear that the hash is not stored in nvram and that removing the cmos cell, holding down the power button for a minute, then leaving it for a couple of hours before re-assembly will actually clear the password - the bad news if you wish to try this is that the cell is on the wrong side of the system board - see Page 127 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

Help! How to reset G770 BIOS password? Also blue screen 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Short story: After automatic updates every boot ends up with blue screen. I need to access BIOS to set the factory defaults, but the the guy i bought this laptop from forgot the password he put on BIOS...
Long story: One morning i was shutting down my laptop and automatic updates started, i haven't got time to wait so i closed the lid and left. Came back home, opened the lid, updating resumed and completed, restart - since then i never saw my Win 7...=( laptop crashes everytime with blue screen error 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA even in safe mode... If you click on this link you can see the topic i've created at Microsoft Forum.
Full story: I got myself a G770 about a year ago, swapped i5 to i7, 750GB HDD to 120GB SSD, it was flying!!! Few months later GPU failed, then CPU, apparently they were fried due to insufficient cooling (probably crappy cheap paste i used), had to put original i5 back. Later battery failed so i decided to send it for warranty service repair. My work is highly computer-dependent so i got myself another G770 as a temporary replacement, took my SSD from the old laptop, put in the new one - no problem, until it failed after automatic updates, as explained in the "Long story"...
I really need your help guys, first of all with BIOS password, but also with getting my old Win 7 back to life, i don't even mind making a small "donation" for anyone who helps to sort this out for me. I work mainly with graphics/video software and i have apps perfectly set up to my needs with profiles etc and it would be a total nightmare to do a fresh install... Please...

Hi Gintaras, welcome to the forum,
you will need to get the previous owner to remember the password or another option would be to contact Lenovo service with a view to obtaining a new mainboard for your system.
Discussion on subverting passwords is forbidden in these forums.

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.

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.
