  • T61p - Please wait while Windows configures Client Security Password - Manager

    My T61p system is fully updated, however I continue to get "Please with while windows configures Client Security Password - Manager." and then the computer trys to install
    css_manager_vista_tpm.exe
    over and over again.
    What is the problem here and how can I solve?
    How can I contact Lenovo-Thinkpad to assist?
    The problem has reoccured even after I did a system restore to an earlier date.
    It seems to initiate when I first boot up and then open up "Pictures"
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Well, I take everything back. After removing all password entries and re-installing/rebooting, it worked for a while. But now it is doing it all over again. I tried to call techincal support, but they then said I would have to pay for software support and they only support hardware, and to re-install the OS. Great, jeez, I couldn't have tried that myself, and that is so simple and takes no time at all (detecing sarcasm yet?)
    I do a lot of work for large corporations that are watching the IBM=>Lenovo takeover very closely to see if they are going to drop Thinkpads altogether and go with another laptop vendor. This type of weak support does not bode well. The person I was on the phone with was rude, hard to understand, and even told me there was no place to escalate the call to.
    There is no replacement for customer support. It is sad to see no Lenovo involvement in this forum, and don't make the mistake of thinking this is an isolated problem at this time. It is growing.
    Though Thinkpads are great Laptops, Toshiba used to have the market, but their support or should I say lack of it led to their downfall and position of leadership loss.
    It will be no different if Lenovo continues to act like a machine churner.

  • Problem with Client Security Password Manager won't let me open it?

    Win7
    32-bit
    IE-10
    Client Security Password Manager 8.30.0057.00
    It allows me to save passwords.
    It will not allow me to get into the program to check/edit/delete the password info.
    Fingerprint software 3.3.2.43 is working correctly.
    Also does not let it auto-fill.
    Have tried un-installing and re-installing.
    Please advise.
    Thanks!

    Hi 
     You could try the new password manager.
     http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS031504
    Or you could try to delete all the files,
    Find Client Security Solution in user profile folder (Search hidden), and delete them all.
    And restart system.
    Before doing this, remember to export passwords

  • Client Security Password manager not working

    Hi All,
    Have a T500 (model 2081CTO) running Win 7 Prof, with fingerprint reader.  Had installed and had working Enhanced Client Security, was web aspect of capturing / prompting userids and passwords just fine.
    Needed to reset IE8 to default.  That stopped Client Security Password web aspect.
    Uninstalled then re-installed & setup Enhanced Client Security.  Had backed up / reinput  password list.
    ***  Web aspect of capturing / prompting userids and passwords is not working ***
    Not being prompted to save a userid / password
    A known userid / password is not being entered into what should be  a known site.
    Doesn't even seem as if enhanced client security is running - no icon in system tray.  Yet Client Security Solution shows it enabled.
    What / How do I get enhanced client security to again start, prompt to save userid/password and to reinput for a known site?
    Obviously not keen to wipe machine and start again...
    Am also really hissed that I cannot ring Lenovo Support and actually talk to someone about this!
    Thanks for any meaningful suggestions and assistance.
    Les
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    open password manager in the set preferences make sure IE box is checked in IE 8 click on the tools option the lenovo password manager should be there & in the manage add ons make sure it is enabled

  • Lenova 3000 C100 (Reset the Pw for Client Security) Password Manager

    Can any body help me to reset the pw for Lenova 3000 c100 's Client Security, I forgot the password as I did not use it for long time.
    Message Edited by tomm1986 on 08-08-2009 12:27 AM

    Hi,
    in your situation I would check the box, that is in this window, that sais something like "My FPR is not working" so that you can type in the password.
    This kind of situations might happen, if you changes some security configuratior, computer, or user name or similar.
    Test this and let me know, how it work out.
    Cheers

  • T500, how do I disable "client security password manager" popups?

    hello.
    I have recently noticed an extremely invasive and irritating popup occur frequently upon opening random folders.
    http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/4913/47354829.jpg
    I honestly do not know what I have done to trigger this, but I absolutely need to disable it.  When UAC appeared warning me about this application, I disallowed it because I did not know what this thing is or what it does.  I found out it was from Lenovo but I cannot figure out how to disable it or uninstall it.  I do not want this feature, it does not even function correctly.  The installation fails becaue it is missing a critical file, but I do not care.  I do not want to install anything, I want it GONE.  I don't know how much of the thinkvantage suite I would have to remove to get rid of this, I just want it gone, I don't want unexpected popups every time I open a folder, I do not need this feature or whatever it provides.  I want to remove it, I cannot find instructions on how to remove this.  I saw a tutorial to remove this software but it involves bring up the Thinkvantage menu and selecting"Thinkvantage Technologies" but there is no "Thinkvantage Technologies" option presented on my T500.
    If anyone can provide any insight on how to get rid of this extremely irritating piece of software I would greatly appreciate it.  It doesn't even function correctly and is extemely frustrating to deal with.  It is malware, I would like it gone.  Thankyou for your time.
    edit: I have not activated my "Security Device" so it appears I cannot access the Client Security Solution which seems to be required to disable this popup.  I do NOT want to actiavte anything because I do not want to want the risk of rendering my computer inoperable due to buggy first party software.

    I had run into a similar problem. I had windows 7 on a t500 which started giving all such popups every time you access control panel or explorer. I tried system restore it gave an error. I tried uninstalling client security from control panel, same popup. Finally I downloaded an uninstaller from download.com called "revo uninstaller". It removes the files and registry entries. Things seems to work on my end now. Will report is any problem comes up

  • Client Security - Password Manager reinstalling

    Hello all,
           For an unknown reason, I have been experiencing this problem over and over.  Whenever I restart my computer and open a new explorer window, windows installer pops up with CSS trying to install the password manager.  No matter how many times i let it install, it occurs every time.  In addition, I keep receiving the 3 Chrome Registration Failed messages when starting firefox because the program continues to try and install the Think Vantage password manager, even when I try to cancle it.  Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Geoff   

    I experienced the same issue with IE 7 on Vista Ultimate SP1 after installing the packages referred to in Microsoft KB950124 and KB950125.
    The following procedure worked for me:
    1.       Run IE7 as Administrator.
    2.       After completion of the CSS-Password Manager installation, restart the PC.
    Hope this will help.

  • Client Security Password

    Hello to all.  My name is Dave and I need a little help with a T60 Laptop.  A friends son has a T60 laptop and recently purchased an Aircard for it.  It has only been working for a few days and stopped working (the aircard).  After trying the aircard on my laptop and it worked fine I was able to figure something was probably  wrong with a setting in the registry of the T60.  I made a set of recovery discs for the T60 and had a successful factory restore.  Now everything works except on bootup I get a     Client Security Setup Wizard   and it gives me the following message.   The embeded security chip is activated on this computer and is protected by a password or paraphase.  Enter the password or paraphase associated with the embedded security chip.  Now is there a standard password of phrase?  If not is there a way to find out what it is?  Thanks for any help.  Dave

    restoring to factory sittings won't put a password on the system have you tried to go to bios setup F1 at bootup you can disable css chip or x out of the ccs setup to see if it will boot to windows

  • I'm looking for a simple, secure password manager. Any thoughts

    Been browsing the Apple store for a password manager.There is a couple highly rated ones.But wanted to expand my search.

    Hi Mark,
    No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
    This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

  • How to securely workaround problem w/ ThinkVantage Client Security PW MGR & Windows PW Chg

    For those of you who have an authentication problem with ThinkVantage Password Manager after changing your Windows password, I would recommend uninstalling the Client Security - Password Manager application (if you just need the Password Manager and not the entire security suite) and install the Lenovo Password Manager.
    It would help to have an exported list of your passwords so you can re-import them into the new Lenovo Password Manager.  If you don't have an exported list and are locked out of ThinkVantage Password Manager, click on the box "I forgot my password" and answer your three security questions (if you enabled that feature during setup), then you can open the Password Manager and export your list.
    (Soapbox On:  it would have been nice if someone had recommended this as an option instead of shutting down discussion by saying we don't talk about subverting passwords.  I understand that is taboo, however other options should have been offered which are "kosher" as the above.  Soapbox Off.)

    Been away working, now back...
    It was an HP8500 Printer that started all of this.  I find it difficult to believe that a (simple?) printer install could do so much collateral damage...
    BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION - How do I reset CSS?  Per furnished Lenovo documentation, (found on the hard drive) CSS was never installed on Windows 7 machines (for some Lenovo reason).  I can export PWs to external drive but still have no idea how to launch the CSS files (of which several executable files came pre-loaded on my machine).
    As far as being locked out of files, Finale composition software now says (upon trying to open files) "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or administrator to obtain permission.."
    Worst case, I can re-build my Finale composiitons, but I'm still annoyed with the Lenovo log-in screen constantly asking me to enter a password that I don't know!
    I am very dissapointed with purchased LENOVO WARRANTY SUPPORT - the people I've talked to have no idea about what I'm trying to explain to them.

  • Password Manager recovery / migration

    Hi There,
    Recently my T61 died but I was able to recover the harddrive. How can I retrieve the password manager data and import it into my new laptop? Also the new laptop (W530) has a newer version of the Client security / Password Manager running. I read somewhere that you could export the data set from the application and then import it into the new PC. Unfortunately exporting is not longer possible since the hardware it ran on is history. Any help appreciated.
    Peter

    It's not possible unless you can get password manager running on the old system to do the export.

  • Client Security Solution CSP Only

    Hi,
    We have a bunch of t430, t440s in our environment. I would like to encrypt certificates using tpm. (the hdd is already encrypted with mcafee)
    I have installed client security solution and it provides a CSP for tpm, which does the trick. I've created MS CA templates and able to deploy certificates.
    But the question is, We dont want to have password manager or additional software in our clients, so I would like to know if you guys figured out to install (or register) only the CSP part of the software?
    By the way, anybody out there knows a proper way to reach lenovo support for techical issues? Our reseller has limited knowledge and I dont know how to get technical support.
    Best regards.

    This is from a post on the Thinkpads.com forum during the beta:
    I forget the name of the very clever person who figured this out, but it wasn't me.
    How to install Client Security Solution on Windows 7:
    1. Download the software from Lenovo at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 69986.html [didn't get the complete link when I copied and pasted, but CSS for Vista x64 isn't difficult to find on the Lenovo web site]
    2. Open the file tvtcss82v64_0023ww.exe to begin installation.
    3. When you get an error message about the wrong OS, do not click "OK." Instead, locate the file "Client Security - Password Manager.msi" (Look in "Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\{xxxxxxxxxxxxx}" - Note that the last folder is a randomly generated temp folder. The easiest way to find the right one is to look at the date it was created). Once you find the msi file, copy it to your desktop.
    4. Open the file from your desktop with Windows Install Editor using Wise Package Studio. Download a free copy at https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?_re ... _id=55188& [this isn't the correct link, but you can easily find it on the Symantec web site.]
    5. Go to the Setup Editor and find "Launch Conditions" on the Product Tab.
    6. Remove the Condition "VersionNT64=600 OR Installed" and save the package.
    7. Click "OK" on the error message that still remains on your desktop from attempting the installation.
    8. Run the .msi file from your desktop and complete the installation
