Help Needed - Step by Step Procedure CMOS / BIOS Reset (MSI GX600)

Hi guys,
I gave my old MSI GX600 laptop to my parents (after I got married) the catch is... they had some virus problems with the laptop (after a few months) and had a technician (just a guy manning a cyber cafe) check the laptop. When they got the laptop back it now has a BIOS password... to make matters worse... the guy gave the wrong password for the BIOS... and insists that - that's the password. (the guy didn't have any rights placing a BIOS password - it's not his laptop to begin with).
So basically we can't boot to Windows since when you turn-on the laptop the first thing you see is the BIOS login. They contacted me to try and resolve the situation. I thought that the best way to reset it to factory default... so I went on the net and looked for ways to do the BIOS reset (factory default) and so far everything I tried still resulted to not having it reset back to faculty default. The BIOS login is still there.
Below are the things I did... any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
1. Uplugged the Laptop
2. Removed the batteries
3. Removed bottom panel
4. Un-attach Internal Battery connector to the mainboard (have no idea how to short it... since there are videos on shorting the board [but that's for MSI motherboards and not for laptops])
5. Left it for a few minutes
6. Connected everything again
7. Re-booted the laptop
Anyhow, it still asks for the BIOS login. I even went to the extent of removing all the connectors I can see on the board. But still to no avail. Anyhow, I have no idea what the guy (technician) did to the laptop but it still continues to ask for the BIOS password. Any help regarding this matter... the proper way or procedure of doing it would be greatly appreciated. I just need to remove the BIOS password requirement that is now implemented on the laptop.
Thanks in advanced!

P6N Platinum Bios Resetting on Boot

Hi all,
I've got a P6N Platinum that the bios resets on almost every day.
-I turn the PC off each night (start - shutdown - from windows)
-When I turn it on in the morning (pressing the power button) it lights up, but I get no video.
-All four lights are green on the D bracket.
-If I press and hold the power button until it turns off, the turn it back on, the same thing happens.
-If I just press the reset button, it boots with the bios reset. I have to go in and set the time and disable the onboard audio (since I have an X-Fi). And any other settings I've tweaked are gone (I've only changed memory timings - but it runs ok on auto).
-Once I reset the bios it works fine the rest of the day - even if I reboot it or power it off and back on.
-I'm not overclocking or doing SLI
Sounds like a battery problem, but it's connected to AC all of the time.
System Specs:
Core2Duo E6600
EVGA 8800 GTX KO
2 GB Corsair RAM
Creative X-FI
300 GB Seagate SATA drive (boot)
Lite-On DVD Drive (IDE)
Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Antec Sonata case with SmartPower2 450W PS.
All new.
Thanks,
Sweeps

If the system locks up or crashes once fully booted into the O/S, and will not re-boot on subsequent attempts, it should reset BIOS to "Optimized Defaults", telling you, "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking has failed... Please press any key to continue...". Afterwhich, it will boot with the default settings.
If, instead, it successfully re-boots within three attempts of the three-finger-salute boot after the lock-up, it should maintain the user selected BIOS settings.
That's normal.
I am beginning to think MSI has come up with a "learning" or "self-healing" BIOS. What few little annoying problems I've had are slowly disappearing, one boot at a time.
When you are playing Lord of the Rings do you get physical; shaking or striking your desk or computer? Could be loose wires. I know my truck acts like that at times.
I see that message in the manual, but I have never received it. It's never taken three attempts - just one. And, the problem occurs after a normal shutdown. (but so far only after the game has crashed).
I've been known to turn my keyboard into popcorn before, but not with this system!! - YET!

M93p BIOS reset when flashed

Everytime we update the BIOS on any of our M93p desktop the BIOS resets to default. I looked at the BIOS utilities and can't find a way to flash and keep settings at the same time. I've tried to capture, flash and restore and get a message that one of the setting is invailed. Please help.

How are you installing the BIOS update? Are you using the bootable media or the version that runs from within the OS? If the latter, are you running "flash.cmd" or doing something else? There could have been a change between BIOS versions that is causing the issue. If the settings are the same between machines in your environment, can you capture the settings from a machine that has already been upgraded and restore those settings to the newly upgraded machines?

Hi
Sorry to said this, but its not possible to delete the BIOS password without a help from the Toshiba authorized service provider.
The special procedure is needed to delete such password.
Therefore you have only one way out. Contact the ASP in your country and ask for the BIOS deletion

Is the computer running when you boot and do you hear the fans working?
The other keyboard you used, is it a USB keyboard.

NEED BIOS BACKDOOR PASSWORD FOR HP PROBOOK 6540b. Have tried all types of bios resets, no luck.

NEED BIOS BACKDOOR PASSWORD FOR HP LAPTOP PROBOOK 6540b. Have tried all types of bios resets, doesn't work.
The password stay's no error code for entering wrong ones.

Hi,
I too have been pulling my hair out with this problem on the 6540B. However after 2 days of various driver combinations I've finally found a working fix. I don't have the luxury of reinstalling Windows XP as the machine is custom configured with apps which will take over a week to configure again.
If you've got no audio it's probably because you've installed the IDT High Def Audio Driver. You may have tried a whole bunch of other options also to try and rectify the problem as I did.
The solution is fairly simple:
Goto to add/remove programs and remove "SoundMax".
Reboot
The audio driver may try to reinstall on boot up... allow it to install. It will still not work and will still show exclamation mark against IDT driver in Device Manager.
Goto run... then type regedit and hit enter. Windows registry opens.
Goto My Computer>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>
Delete the WHOLE KEY for AEAudio and then exit regedit
Go to device manager and uninstall the IDT High Def Audio device from Device Manager
Then using the original HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD supplied with the notebook, run the autoplay, choose Hardware Enabling Drivers, tick only the IDT High Def Audio driver and follow the installation instruction on screen. You will be prompted to reboot after which Windows will find new hardware. The IDT will install itself and you will find that the sound works!
Good Luck!
For those that cannot find their original disk, the IDT Audio Driver from the original disk is available at http://tinyurl.com/IDTAudio6540b or http://www.4shared.com/file/RxXn5afj/IDTAUDIO.html

Need bios reset password

Please help me with bios reset password HP pavilion dv4000 - system disabled - 13179 --- s/n (Personal information removed by moderator) - p/n EC329UA#ABA
Thank you

Without the DriveLock password there is no way to access the drive.
Since the DriveLock password is specific to the hard drive I believe your only choice is to replace the drive. You cannot disable or remove DriveLock protection without the password.

Libretto L5, BIOS resetting

I got a serious problem, BIOS password forgotten!!
my Laptop is Libretto L5 series
does anybody know the Toshiba BIOS resetting charge?
Thanks alot.

Hello Jain
As far as I know its not possible to change or to delete the BIOS password without the old password. I'm afraid you have to contact the Toshiba service partner. There are authorized to change or to delete the BIOS password.

Reseting CMOS, BIOS, Fingerprinting access for a Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU

Greetings,
My machine has been so hacked that I have now disabled Blue Tooth, Infrared and Cingular SIM access to it by removing the hardware components. I also shut down the funcionality in the BIOS. Only Ethernet and WiFi are left. In order to do this I had to gut the machine and extract components like the SIM card, and a couple of chips.
After I put it back together, when I boot it I get messages that the security system has been tampered with. So, I tried to configure BIOS and in spite of removing the secondary battery, settings related to security persist. Are they stored in CMOS or elsewhere. Thinkgs like Paraphrase.
However, my fingerprints gone and I cannot restart the security chip features. So, my question, in case anyone is out there, is, how do I reset CMOS, reload BIOS to a decent version, and then re-enable the security system involving the security chip and figerprinting?
All of my problems began after I did a stupid suggested BIOS update.... Duh!
Anyway, I hope I can get some help from someone short of taking the machine in. I hate to say it, but I never get it back the way I want so I might as well do it myself. As a CS major, I think I can hack it.
Thank you and regards,
Jean-Pierre

Greetings,
The motherboard is not useless. After I received the message indicating that the security chip had been tampered with, I still went forward, entered BIOS and reconfigured it to my specs. Then I booted the machine and everything came up fine. After being in CS for nearly three decades, I know some error messages don´t affect functionality.
However, like I said, I still want to completely clear CMOS memory, and install a good version of the BIOS as I can pinpoint the flash update suggested by the system, and which I stupidly accepted, as one source of problems. I would like to roll back to factory BIOS, or the latest stable version.
As far as the security chip, I have seen no mention of it in the Documentation, don´t know where it is located and I did not remove it. I did remove the BlueTooth Chip, the Cingular Wireless Chip and its corresponding SIM as well as the modem Chip.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre

Bios reset (CMOS clear) by keyboard - help !!!

I've lost users manual for my KT4V , is there any key combination during boot time or post which can reset bios ???
On ABIT mobo's it is possible , but I don't remember is this possible with KT4V ???

Haven't read anywhere in this forum the keybd. option to reset bios. Think it's not possible in MSI Mobos.

Bios resets itself??

Everytime I enter bios to change something, all of my settings are mixed up, my ethernet is disabled, usb disabled etc, etc. Then, quite often it wont boot and i have to clear bios and start again. I am getting tired of opening the case and moving the clear cmos jumper back and forth. why is it doing this?

Hi
Certainly not a usual problem on a new board, on an older one I would be suspecting a flat battery. Is the battery seated correctly, or could it be flat.
I would be tempted to reflash the bios, but not if battery is at fault.
Now me just being silly, but you do save and exit, not just Esc.
I have noticed that when I disconnect a drive or peripheral that the bios ' recalculates' its settings and I end up with factory defaults in boot sequence.
WD IDEs must have jumper removed if only drive on cable, or at least be on cable select, I am thinking the WD may not be seen if jumper is on, thus resetting bios.
Cheers
