CD Drive - password configuration?

I just bought my MacBook Pro from the student union, and at first i thought something was malfunctioning on itunes until i tried loading my Apple Care software, and found it was unable to read the disc. Is there any password configuration you have to do to be able to use your drive?

Well we need your model number and Windows version but I will try to help before we get that. The lens on the drive may be dirty in which case you can run a cleaner disk you can buy at any video store. Or, the drive may be going bad in which case it will need to be replaced. A replacement drive is not usually very expensive or hard to replace even for a novice, but that is why I need the model. The process and part varies quite a bit from model to model.

How to remove hard drive password on a Portege M400-170 ?

Hi,
I've read a lot of things in this forum, in the user manual, I even phoned the support Toshiba and i've still no answer to my problem.
At the first use of the PC, i defined a hard drive password. I now want to remove this password.
The user manual and the forum advise me to open the bios configuration, under windows, wich is supposed to offer the possibility to change and remove password. No option, no possibility to change nor remove the password.
The phone support tell me that if the bios configuration under windows do not show the option to change or remove password, I have no way to do this (!!?!).
I need your knowledge and your help :)
I thank you in advance.
Thomas (sorry for my english)

I understand this sentence in the context of "If you forget your password".
I have no doubt you are right but i still search because some informations let me hope it's possible ;-)
In fact, i think this hdd password prevent me to restore my system with, for example, Norton Ghost (when i boot on the restore cd, i can not see my hdd)...
Perhaps it's another problem, i don't really know.
Your opinion ?

Proliant ML310e G8 boot error, boot logical drive is configured but missing or offline

Following a power outage the server will no longer boot up. During bootup  I get the following...
HP Dyanamic Smart Array B120i RAID Controller (v3.06.0m 0MB) 0 Logical Volume
1785-Drive Array Not Configured
    Run Array Configuration Utility
Press <F5> to run HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
Press <ESC> to skip
    **** Boot Logical Drive s configured but is Missing or Offline.
In ACU it shows 930GB available on the 1TB drive. There are few article I found that mention going into F8 boot option and nothing fits in with the options available.
for example these
   1. start the computer and wait till you see; "Press F8 to run option ROM configuration for Array utility"
   2. Press F8, you will see the Main Menu, Select the last option "Select Boot Volume"
   3. Select in Direct attached storage,
   4. if you see first logicar drive 01 select it .
   5. Press F8 To save Logical Drive 01 as Boot Volume.
   6. Press F8 to Exit and start with New Boot Volume.
I did find the following advisory but the controller isnt in the ones listed under Scope.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5177937&docId=emr_na-c04081865&docLocale...
Also as I mentioned, viewing the ACU screens refer to createing array and creating logicl volumes, no mention of setting boot order. And going the the steps of creating the array and logical volumes seem it will wipe the data.
Thank you in advance.

RESOLVED
Found from another thread that and this solves it..
Thanks John
This issue is due to a miss-configuration/miss-interpretation of the Sender Addresses on the Common Configuration of the E-mail Driver.
The purpose of this property is to configure a specific list of SenderAddresses (like a filter of email addresses), so if the e-mail you are trying to reach is not in this list the message sent by the application will find a non-matching Sender Address thus giving the error message.
RESOLUTION:
1. If you are not using a list of specific address, delete any entries of this field and restart the server.
2. If you are using a list then make sure the list follows the syntax: EMAIL:[email protected], EMAIL:[email protected] Make the necessary adjustments
and restart the server.
Hope this helps.

Driver/Test/Configure computers not working

I've VS2013 Premium and Driver Kit 8.1 installed. I can successfully build my WDM driver. In order to test and deploy on a VM, I'd like to use the "Configure computers" option. From the main menu "Driver / Test Configure computers..."
it pops up an error dialog: "Unable to locate machinepicker.xaml". From my project properties "Deploy", it crashes the IDE. Any suggestions? I've already tried to uninstall / reinstall... no help :( Thx!

There is no known issue about a corrupted installation file distributed by NI. However, I have seen rare cases where moving installation files around (such as putting them on a USB Flash drive)can corrupt the files slightly.
Another problem to look for, before trying to download any drivers is the MAX Database Corruption. The following Knowledge Base explains how to address this problem:

Password configuration settings and SAP Updates

Hi,
I'll be glad if somebody could help me with the following. I'm working on GRC AC 5.1 and wanted to change the password configuration settings (to make them match the actual company policy). I'm assuming this could be done through the Web Dynpro configuration, but do not know how to change them.
Additionally, I would like to see what SAP updates have been applied to this instance. Is there a way to see this?. Wher could I find the latest SAP updates for GRC AC 5.1 and apply them? I'm also assuming this is performed through the Dynpro.
Thanks in advance

Hi Kameliya,
thanks for your reply! Unfortunately it doesn't still work. Setting to final doesn't bring any success. Perhaps the solution in the note can help.
Please give me an information if you have something new.
Best regards,

Smart Storage requires hard drives before configuration

(From Davin Oishi)
Issue/Question: Unit powers up, but can't login to web administration GUI
Resolution: The Cisco Smart Storage products require at least one hard drive to be installed in the system before configuration is allowed
Issue/Question: Why does the Smart Storage require a hard drive to be installed when my previous NSS3000 did not require a hard drive before configuration could be made
Resolution: The architecture for both product families is different. While configuring a device without drives does provide the ability to configure basic settings before deployment. The actual usefulness is still limited to when the device has drives. Smart Storage takes advantage of the drives by placing configuration and applications on the hard drives. If additional drives are installed after initial setup, configuration information is striped across the additional drives as you add them. This allows for better utilization of Smart Storage memory, improves system performance, and allows for higher scalability.

With eSata not going to be an option for all 3 drives. I'll use eSATA for the 2 TB and daisy-chain the other 2 with FW800
I'll use the 500GB for Time Machine, but which would be the better plan?
A) Put stills on the 1TB and use the 2TB for FCE scratch drive and back up the compressed camera data on DVD's
B) Use the 1 TB for camera data and then either folders or partition the 2TB for camera imports and FCE scratch drives,
In either plan the AVCHD files get converted at log and transfer and the h264 data gets converted via 3rd party conversion software. In both cases the converted files end up on the scratch drive.
I should also mention that I plan to use QT not self contained exports and keep them on the internal drive. I am currently keeping disk images of finished projects on an external hard drive, unsure what to do with them. maybe I need an other drive or not bother with saving disk images ?

Does supervisor password sets master hard drive password?

On lost or forgotten password - ThinkPad General we read "setting a supervisor password automatically sets the master hard drive password". This one is a powerful feature that allows administrators recovering disks whose user password has been set to an unknown string.
Does this feature applies to old systems too, let us say T40 and X40-series ThinkPads, or only to new ones?
If this feature does not apply to old systems is there a way to set a master password (only a master password, not a user one) on the drives of these old ThinkPads? Up to my knowledge the only choices are user password or master + user password. My goal is providing a mean to recover control on a drive whose user password has been set without requiring users provide a password each time the computer is booted.
Thanks!
Edit: found a reference to supervisor password setting a master hard drive password automatically from march 2008, however I am interested in computers from 2004 up to 2006.
Solved!

AFAIK, on the old systems such as T4x/X4x one must set both the user and the master password.

T41 hard drive password changed with "load defaults"

Hi, I have a T41 laptop and it has a hard drive password. I wanted to get rid of the password, so I chose "load setup defaults". That didn't get rid of the password, but instead changed it to something else. The password is different now, does anybody know what it defaulted to?
Thanks

I'll give that a try. However, I can not get into the bios without taking the hard drive out. Are you suggesting that I take the drive out, enable the passphrase option (it is currently disabled), put the drive back in and try that?
Trying will not hurt and will also not set you back as you can always reverse the changed settings.

Surely you could have asked them for the password or that they delete it for you?

Hard Drive password not accepted in new W530

I am moving a hard drive from a W500 to a W530 laptop. The hard drive has a password on it and it works fine on the W500. When I put the drive in the W530 laptop, it does not accept the password on boot up. If I move the drive back to the W500, it all works fine. This is a 1TB drive, so I'm hoping I can still use it! Thanks for any help here.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
Since the HDD password is accepted when it's installed in the W500, why not pull off the password in BIOS there, reinstall the drive into the W530 and then set the password in the W530's BIOS?
Regards.

Time Capsule and Hard Drive Password on a PC

I have been using my Time Capsule with a PC for some time now and it works perfectly but I have one gripe. Every time I switch on my computer and the backup program runs I have to enter the password for the hard drive (not the network password) in the time capsule. Does anyone know if you can switch off the password?
I only have to enter the password once, if I leave the computer on you don't have to enter it again to access the hard drive on the time capsule.

I believe you can just open the airport utility, enter manual setup, and click on the disc tab, then click on sharing, on the secure disk dialog box select with accounts.

Dynamic userid and password configuration for spring DAO

Hi,
I have a requirement, For security reasons database username and password are changed every 15 days. and the username and password will be exposed via a webservice.
Now my query is how to configure the username and password dynamically in our project.
We are using JDBCTemplate to access datasource and execute queries.
Please help how to approach this problem.
Thanks,
Ashwin.

How is that webservice secured?
