Bios Password Reset/ Ran Recovery Disc Still Problems Qosmio X505-Q870 win 7

My win password quit working , so I went to bios and set the same password several times till it let me back in to win. Now I have sign in before it boots Black screen with blue box says Enter Password HDD1 Tried to reset defualt in bios its still there I have tried to reset password in bios but dont have a reset password option. Ran recovery disc and still had junk files and reg erro's ect.. 1st how do I clean up the bios set up and 2nd do i need to reformat the hardrive and reinstall win with recovery disc? Any help would be appreciated !

Peter thanx for replying ! I ran the recovery disc but it did not clear out all files, I have 5 disc and recovery set up only used 3 the last ones 64 bit encryption and Apps & Drivers were not asked for, Were they needed for recovery? Should I wipe HD clean with some kind of disc cleaner software ? and run recovery again ? On the password yes my win password was not working went to bios and reset password 3 or 4 times and finally got in to win and my win password worked . I have a PC CMOS cleaner disc will that reset bios to default, I want to get the bios problem fixed before I run recover process again ! Again thanx for replying!

Help with Bios Password Reset Service

I am trying to use the Bios Password Reset Service for Power On password and Hard Drive Password. The current setting in the Bios is "Enabled, In Progress". The Bios sidebar help tells me that in order to complete registration for this function to open the Create Recovery Media application and "follow instructions". I am lost, there is nothing there about the Password Reset Service. I have already created the Recovery disks and even a Rescue Media disk.
I have found that in the Client Security Solution application, under the advanced tab there is a "Setup Hardware Password Reset" function but it is greyed out!
Since this function is available for selection in Bios shouldn't I be able to use it?
I am using the Windows logon password recovery function in Client Security with no problems.
Any ideas??
Thank you!!
Installed BIOS: 7LETC5WW (2.25-1.08) Release Date: 2009/01/08
Client Security Solution version: 8.20.0023.00
PS. I don't want to circumvent any passwords, I just want to activate the Hardware Password Recovery function in case I ever need it.

Go to Solution.

UPDATE:
In case anyone cares, I was finally able to figure out how to activate the Hardware Password Reset feature in my T61. Here is the solution, at least in my case:
1)Found the file in Program Files->Lenovo->Client Security Solution->HwPwReset.exe
2)Ran the file and followed the instructions
3)A "Secure Environment" was created in the hardrive and the laptop restarted
4)The laptop booted into the Secure Environment where I was asked to establish 3 security questions and answers.
5)The laptop restarted and the status of the Pasword Reset function in BIOS changed to Registered.
Now if I ever forget the Power-on or Hardrive passwords all I have to do is press F12 on boot-up, select Password Reset option, answer my security questions and voila, passwords are reset or removed. Very nice!
BTW, I called Lenovo technical support twice and after talking to 3 "techs" and one supervisor they had no clue on how to do this. Go figure!

Bios password reset for HP 6735s (not 6735b) laptop

Recently, I managed to find a replacement board for my laptop however I found out that there was an issue with getting into the systems BIOS as there was a password set and the company I bought that board off had no clue what it was set to.
Now I have tried all of the simple ways like removing the CMOS battery and trying the backdoor password (which I might add never worked) but still cant get into the bios to update it or change the boot sequence. I even requested some information about this issue directly to HP Support and they cant help due to the fact that the software they have to do this only work on 2009 and later models (my machine was built 2008).
I have all the information including the UUID however cant seem to find either a DOS application that will succesfully view or reset the password or anyone that would be able to point me in the direction of such a appliocation.
Before anyone says anything about a reset button or anything that simple, I have tried all that and have no such jumper or switch on the mainboard.

There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks and most business class laptops.

Mazzif’s program will detect your UUID, Serial Number and model number then use that information to produce an .exe file to clear the password.
If you find it to be too technical then.
4. Replace the BIOS chip.

Qosmio X505 - Q870 Freezing Problem PLS HELP !!!

hello everyone
i have toshiba qosmio x505 q870 with nvidia gts 360m. core i7 q720 @1.6
i have this strange problem .. the laptop freezes recently alot that im not being to use it, it happens not in particular situation .. it may happen in any time in anything you are doing. last time happened, i was logging in.
i wish to know whats the problem .. after freezing the only thing that i can do is ahard shut down by keep pressing the power button.
i tried mem test to check the rams .. no errors i have 8gb ram.
i tried scanning the hard disk for bad sectors .. also nth, i have 128 gb ssd
( the laptop came with 500gb hitachi 7200rpm, i added SSD 128gb Kingston later )
and another 500gb seagate 7200 rpm.
i tried replacing rams .. still happening.
i used the laptop without battery only on power still happening.
i used the battery alone also happened.
i changed the windows copy yes it freezed.
some times when it happens i take off the battery and take of the rams and keep pressing the power button to reset the laptop thing about electricity, thats what they told me .
Then it will happen but after awhile. one time i did this thing:
i disassembled the laptop with eveything out and did a cleaning for eveyrhing ( bearing in mind it wasnt full of dust or anything it was clean ) and then reinstalled everything in place.
That was a while ago..
After that it took awhile before rehappening, something about a month . and one time happened during the installtion of windows =S
i tried eveything .. i updated all the drivers, uninstall reinstall, i did a recovery i did eveything with no results no over heating problems
i asked the support center and they didnt figure out whats causing. they did not figure out the problem soo... to show me that they are a good costumer care center they told me that they want to replace :
1. motherboard 280 $
2. graphic card 600 $
3. 2 x 4 gb ram 100 $
4. HDD 70 $
the laptop is out of warranty and im sure i wont do such a thing ..
all of that to be replaced just because they did not figure out.
and im the one whos gonna cry !
im sure that this solution is not the right one.
i tried four different HDD same result and as i mentioned .. one of them was during the installation of windows during the recovery ...
i almost tried eveything i tried to run with one memory module, then the other module, and see if either provides more stability. For clarity, let's call one RAM 1 and the other RAM 2. and i have two slots; call them slot 1 and slot 2. Try RAM 1 in slot 1 with slot 2 empty. If that does not allow the system to work well, try RAM 1 in slot 2 with slot 1 empty. If that does not provide more stability, try RAM 2 in slot 1 with slot 2 empty. If that still is not stable, try RAM 2 in slot 2 with slot 1 empty. still freezing =(
Plus .. i tried 8 different rams modules 1 in 1 , 1 in 2, 2 in 1, 2 in 2 and goes on .. etc .. still freezing .. i tried eveything humanty can do ..
i guess im gonna buy a robot and let him set, think, work, and figure out whats causing ..
after all im guessing its sth about electricity .. i think thats theres atiny black thing in the motherboard causing loose or giving more static or delivering more or less electricity to some parts or anything like this .
who knows ... my humanty after i did all that made think like this .. or lets say its BY LOGIC .. Please Anyone can Help ... !!
anyone can help =( im disperate

A FIX THAT WORKS SO FAR!
I have a x505 - q870 myself and have had problems with freezing for a long time - till a few days ago, it began to freeze at random times even 15 minutes after boot, making the laptop unusable. I use a cooling pad, and that didn't help either. I thought it maybe a corrupt OS, bad memory or a heating problem.
I found this toshiba form post and on advice decided to unseat and reseat the CMOS battery. WARNING: this takes time and patience, you have to disassemble the entire laptop to get to the motherboard. I'll attach an X505 service manual that I found a while ago.
While getting to the CMOS battery, I also discovered that the fans had a carpet layer of dust/lint covering the rear vents (after 2 years heavy travel and use). I cleaned these out (with air), unseated and reseated the battery, and reassembled the laptop. You will have to update system time on first boot. VOILA! I have had the laptop working for two days now, no freezing yet! I am guessing a couple of reasons:
1. Hard resetting the motherboard did something magical - worth a try.
2. Cleaning dirt blocking vents under the motherboard definitely helped heating issues. You may not have this problem. But in any case, do you use a cooling pad?
If you are out of warranty (like me) and have some technical knowledge, I suggest you give this a try. Since I did this I have not had a freeze yet after constant use! This after having repeated freezes every hour of use is definitely an improvement.

Hi, Steve,

Bios password reset

I have been using my laptop Compaq Presario V3000 with service tag v3070TU from last eight years. This laptop is also being used by my kids for playing games. As we know that there are two types of BIOS password i.e. "Supervisor" and "User". I had kept both passwords separate. For myself, I kept Supervisor password. Kids also kept their own User password. I was in view that I can change ”User" password whenever I wish as I was using Supervisor password. The time went by. The kids changed "User" password as they wished. Later I purchased Desktop for them. Again the time passed and for opening the laptop I always used my own ”Supervisor" password. No issues. The kids forgot their own password. But I was assured that I will change it whenever required. So few days back I thought to change the password kept by kids. To my surprise, I was unable to change the password. I search many forums and tried to reset the password as per procedure laid by HP. but all efforts failed. Then I thought may be upgrading BIOS will reset the password to default. So
I upgraded the Bios to the latest one F.25 (phoenix BIOS) to my surprise, my laptop still wanted the password to boot. Though I could do all the office work on my laptop but still I always felt handicap due to password issue.
Yesterday I thought why not to clear my “Supervisor” password so that it may not ask any password during boot. So I entered BIOS and navigated to supervisor password, pressed enter twice, and got alert that password is removed. Saved, rebooted and It again asked for password. Now my Supervisor password is also not working, even pressing “Enter” during boot is not working. Now I cannot enter in setup also.
Please help.

Take a look at this thread soniass and let me know if it helps,
